Another 150 milkweed plants given away at the Friends of Patuxent Local Community Environmental Fair! 🥳 We had so much fun at the beautiful Patuxent Research Refuge Visitor Center alongside Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay Chapter. Through origami butterflies and cootie catchers, coloring sheets, and more, we taught youth and adults about the vital role of milkweed as a host plant for monarch butterflies. A huge thank you to all the families who visited with us!

Over 150 milkweed plants given away at Insectival! 🥳 We had so much fun at the beautiful Annmarie Sculpture Gardens alongside Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay Chapter, Southern Maryland Audubon Society (SMAS), and The Xerces Society. Through origami, coloring sheets, water whistles, and more, we taught youth about the vital role insects play in supporting pollinators, birds, and native plants. A huge thank you to all the families who braved the heat and came out!
