We’re going virtual! This year, join the Leslie Science & Nature Center as we celebrate the incredible journey of the Monarch butterfly!
Every year, waves of these butterflies migrate over mountains, deserts, and plains in the United States to reach their wintering grounds in Mexico. By registering for this event, you are helping contribute to the conservation efforts put in place to protect these incredible butterflies locally and nationally. In fact, $5.50 of your registration fee goes directly to support the rearing and conservation efforts locally!
Even though the event is virtual this year, those who register will still have the opportunity to be a part of the main event: releasing your very own monarch butterfly, or sponsoring a butterfly for us to release in our pollinator garden!
