Monarch Butterfly Release!!!

Update...please read and change your RSVP if need be. MAX 25 ATTENDEES. The release is ON!!!! I have at least 10 beauties to share tomorrow. I cannot put up my tent for you to go in but you can still help set them free and I will read my butterfly book.

Have you seen any monarchs this year? I have not in the wild... but.....you can here!! I am excited to report that I should have a bunch of glorious butterflies soon. PLEASE sign up even if you can't make Thursday as the date may, and most likely will, change.

For years I have raised and tagged monarchs, and the last few years have been challenging to say the least.
UPDATE... I CANNOT bring my wonderful butterfly hut for you to go in to actually hold a butterfly if you wish. Bring a camera and a wish for when they take their first flight. If anyone wants to bring CHILDREN, please do!!!! I have the greatest book to read to them (and any adults who care to listen😁). This date is TENTATIVE, I can predict the date but only Mother Nature can say for sure when it will really happen. I will post changes as necessary. If you want to see pictures look back to 2017 on the Orange County Outdoor Friends site, or any year since!!! IF IT RAINS or is miserably gloomy I will reschedule as butterflies do not fly in the rain.
Location will be Algonquin Park in Newburgh. We will be on the right side heading towards the pavilions and playground. On the left side of the parking lot there is a small grassy area. LOOK FOR THE PURPLE JEEP. No Meetup fee for butterfly lovers. :-)
