Throughout September, Monarch Butterflies will migrate through our region on their way to Mexico for the winter.
To celebrate this special event, join us for a family friendly, multi-activity Monarch Discovery Day hosted by Joette Borzik, of the Potomac Valley Audubon Society
Learn about BAAC’s pollinator fields, enjoy monarch butterfly walks, learn how to net, tag and release monarchs, view live caterpillars and chrysalids, enjoy educational displays with hands–on exhibits and much more! Kids will have the opportunity not only to learn how to net, tag and release butterflies but also to wear butterfly wings in a monarch parade! A coloring table and monarch story time reading will be available.
