The monarchs are also coming to the Black Mountain Public Library!

Join us at The North Carolina Arboretum on September 19th for a day dedicated to the Monarch Butterfly! 🦋 Each fall the last of the year’s monarchs pass through Western North Carolina during their winter migration to Mexico, so what better time to celebrate!?

From 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., you can enjoy a variety of activities, including a mini-live monarch tagging and release demonstration, crafts and educational exhibitors, a monarch-focused story walk.

Many thanks to Reduce Reuse Junk Removal for sponsoring this event.
