OC Parks invites children and families to learn all about
Monarch butterflies and their natural habitat with an
up-close look at the magnificent creatures at the ninth
annual Monarch Butterfly Day!
The free event takes place in the Forest Shelter near
parking lot C. Children can learn about planting plants
to attract Monarch Butterflies. Participants can also go
inside a netted butterfly enclosure.
Butterfly experts will be on-site to provide educational
information and answer questions about the beautiful
and unique specimens.
Additional activities include interpretive programs,
children’s crafts, face painting and a balloon artist. Food
will be available for purchase.
Volunteers will be needed to help set-up and break-down the event, and assist with various activities for event operation. The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers assistance is needed from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
