The monarch butterfly is now endangered worldwide, but we can take action to stop the decline, starting here.  Join the effort to protect monarchs at Fresh Pond - starting with the habitat they depend on!  We’ll plant the milkweed monarch caterpillars need to thrive in preparation for the arrival of 28 caterpillars Reservation staff will be raising for release in August.  Please wear sturdy shoes!  Pants, bug spray and water bottle are strongly suggested.  Learn more about the project at www.cambridgema.gov/Water/freshpondreservation.
