Discover Monarchs at Days Cove

Participate in a search through milkweed patches, looking for Monarch caterpillars and other insects that call milkweed home! We will be collecting caterpillars to raise and release as part of the Monarch Watch program. We will discuss the importance of milkweed as well as the Monarch life cycle and migration. Please wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, closed-toe shoes, and bring insect repellant and water.

Days Cove is located at the end of Days Cove Rd, off Rt. 40 in White Marsh, MD. Keep driving past the refuse center and the split for the reclamation center, keep left and travel down the gravel road (there is a sign out front that days "Days Cove Environmental Education Center”). This area of the park is only accessible to the public during special programs and events.
