Davidson Lands Conservancy Outreach Activity
Marking Milkweed in Fisher and Abersham Parks: A Family and Child-friendly outdoor activity!
Saturday, May 15: 10:00 -11:00 am
Location: Lower parking lot in Abersham Park at the Pavilion

Activity Overview: Help mark wild milkweed in Fisher Farm and Abersham Park to protect the endangered Monarch butterfly! Monarchs need milkweed so they can lay their eggs and complete their life cycle. The Monarch eggs hatch into caterpillars (we may see some!) and the Monarch caterpillars eat the milkweed leaves. The caterpillars can only eat milkweed leaves: that makes the milkweed the host plant for Monarchs. We want to protect the milkweed from being mowed, so the Monarchs can live. You will get to make a flag to mark a field of milkweed in the park! We will be using the tables in the pavilion to make flags to mark milkweed and then we will walk to a patch of milkweed and install the flags! Yay! All sanitized supplies are provided, masks are required and social distancing will be observed at all times.

SIGN UP HERE! Only space for 6 families.
