Activities will be offered from 11 am to 2 pm.
A Master Naturalist will lead pollinator plant walks along the trail, and you can become a citizen scientist by helping us search for monarch caterpillars.
Kids can color their own butterflies, learn about monarch butterfly migration, and earn a free pollinator patch.
