Upcoming Programs:
FREE: Winter Milkweed Sowing
Thursday January 14th 4:00pm-5:00pm
Did you know that Monarch Butterflies are in trouble? Their populations have declined dramatically. The reasons include pesticide use, habitat fragmentation and loss, and lack of milkweed. Monarch Butterflies cannot survive without milkweed. Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed plants and the larvae (caterpillars) feed on the plants. Adults also depend on the milkweed nectar for food.
So what can we do? Plant milkweed!
Join Southbury Land Trust’s Joy VanderLek for a Milkweed Sowing Workshop at Southbury Parks and Recreation!
What to bring: garden gloves and 1-to-3 half-gallon cartons (rinsed used juice/milk cartons). Southbury Land Trust will supply soil, water, and milkweed seeds.
Workshop size is limited, registration required. All children must be supervised at all times.
FREE: Bird Feeder Wreath
Wednesday, February 11th 4:00pm-5:00pm
We will be stringing fruits, nuts, and greenery to create a beautiful and functional bird feeding wreath. All materials will be provided, registration required. All children must be supervised at all times.
