Through careful observation, I have come to know Shaver’s Creek and the surrounding woods, meadows, and marshes. My hope is that, throughout our 50th year, I can share my observations and inspire you to notice the world around you, wherever you are.
This weekend is not only the Maple Harvest Festival, it's also the official start to spring! 🌱
Spring marks the return of many migrating species. One of the most captivating among them: the monarch butterfly! 🦋 This iconic butterfly is a frequent summertime visitor to the flowers of Shaver's Creek.
Last summer, Shaver’s Creek’s conservation interpreters raised more than 50 monarch caterpillars, then tagged and released the butterflies as part of the 2025 Monarch Watch program. CI Mallory Wahlstrom documented this fascinating process in our latest blog post.
Mallory says "I look forward to another fun summer of sharing the joys of raising monarch butterflies with our visitors."
Visit the link below to learn all about the monarch life cycle so that you're ready for their return this spring and early summer. Thanks to Mallory for this lovely story filled with so much curiosity and wonder!
