Butterflies, the pretty pollinators, are very busy during this part of the summer. Now is the perfect time to take a good look at the natural works of art and maybe learn something new about beautiful butterflies.
The Friends of the St. Clair River in partnership with the Port Huron Recreation Department are inviting those who want to learn a little more about butterflies to join them at the Blue Water Butterflies event on Friday, August 5 from 3:00-4:30 p.m.. at the Blue Water River Walk.
Butterflies like to hang out in the Vantage Point Gardens, so there should be ample opportunity to find caterpillars and eggs along with the fluttering butterflies.
Participants will learn the differences in food choices over the lifespan of a butterfly and will also take home a potted pollinator plant.
Kids need to have an adult with them. The guided hike starts at the Great Lakes Maritime Center at 51 Court Street in Port Huron.
The cost is $10 per family for residents and $20 per family for non-residents.
Registration information can be found at WGRT.com.
