Habitat loss has caused Monarch butterfly populations to reach dangerously low numbers. Join the Park Naturalist and Virginia Master Naturalists as they set out to collect Monarch caterpillars and eggs to raise in the park's Visitor Center. Learn how to protect this species by raising Monarchs and improving the habitat for this at-risk butterfly.
The program will begin with a lecture on Landscaping for Monarch Butterflies by Virginia Master Naturalist, Paul Guay. Directly following, join in Monarch egg collection. Milkweed plants are located in high grassy areas; long pants and closed-toe shoes are highly encouraged. Water, snacks, sunscreen and bug spray are also recommended.
$10/car parking fee.
