National Learn About Butterflies Day encourages us to look for a blur of color as butterflies begin migrating across the country. Each year the celebration brings with it an awareness of the varieties of butterflies and their importance to our survival. Spring and summer are just right around the corner, so it is an excellent time to take a few minutes and learn something new about butterflies and appreciate their beauty.

Chris Allgyer, a Virginia Master Naturalist from the High Knob Chapter will host this program. Participants will learn about the butterfly life cycle, what native plants are used for butterflies in our area, pollinators in your yard/garden, and other useful information about butterflies. The “National Learn about Butterflies Day Workshop” is the perfect get together with friends.

All supplies and materials are included. Registration is required by 4 p.m. on Friday, March 10.
