Watch until the end! 🦋❤️ This mother monarch visited Naturalist Shannon‘s garden this morning and laid eggs all over her common milkweed!

We are gearing up for a number of educational monarch butterfly programs this fall and have started collecting eggs from our gardens so our visitors can see all the different stages of the monarch lifecycle.

Throughout the month of September and into October, you can learn about this magnificent creature at our free public programs. In addition to events at our own parks, we are partnering with all of the libraries in Warren County as well as Springboro and Mason parks!

The butterflies you meet at these programs are part of “the super generation” of monarchs that will migrate to Mexico for the winter. We will be tagging and releasing butterflies at our programs as part of a citizen science initiative through Monarch Watch.
