Fresh Pond Monarch Butterfly Release

Saturday, Aug. 6, 2-3:30 p.m.

Join us to celebrate the growth of our monarch caterpillars into beautiful butterflies, and wish them luck on their long migration to Mexico. 

A family-friendly parade, open to all (costumes and noisemakers welcome) will take us from the Water Treatment Facility to Lusitania Meadow, where we’ll send our butterflies off into the flowers. Feel free to just meet us at the meadow too! 

Volunteers are needed!!
