Bring on the Butterflies

Описание: Butterflies are perhaps the most universally loved insect — their beauty and grace captivate us and their presence brings us joy. Ecologically, butterflies are also incredibly important! Unfortunately, like many insects, butterfly populations are in decline, primarily due to habitat loss. Creating habitat in our landscapes can help fill the void between fragmented natural habitats and provide stepping stones in a pollinator pathway for butterflies to reach other parks, natural areas and roadside wildflowers.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how your gardening practices can bring on and support a wide diversity of butterflies.
