Join us for a front-row seat to one of nature’s most incredible journeys, the Monarch butterfly migration! We’ll start this family friendly program in our Nature Neighborhood Garden to explore the habitats we steward here at Prairie Ridge and see how these spaces fuel Monarchs along their trek south. Then, we’ll head into the prairie to spot as many butterflies as we can! If we’re lucky, we might even catch and release a live Monarch butterfly. We will learn about the Monarch Larvae Monitoring Project and Monarch Watch collaborative science projects along the way. All programs at Prairie Ridge currently require pre-registration. Register for this program for ages 5+ on the website.
