Read our latest newsletter Kinderflies! A wondrous thing is happening. Remember last fall when we traveled with the monarch butterflies to the Oyamel trees in Mexico? There, they went into a deep sleep, covering the pines, so you couldn’t see the trees beneath them. They have been sleeping all winter, waking only briefly to fly to the nearby lakes for a sip of water. Now listen! It’s so loud ~ the fluttering of their wings drowns everything else! They are waking, and on their way. Our Journey to Oyamel is in its next phase. They are heading home! They are traveling to Texas to lay their first eggs. When those hatch, they’ll get closer and lay another set of eggs. Each butterfly will emerge to fly closer to North Carolina. And by the time we track back in, the best surprise awaits us. There will be eggs laid and caterpillars hatching right here in North Carolina. **// Let’s celebrate our Journey from Oyamel with a huge //** **// Butterfly Party!
