Description

Calendar event image

RAIN DATE OF MONDAY, AUGUST 24th at 6pm. Parade starts from the treatment plant at 6. 

Join us to celebrate the growth of our monarch caterpillars into beautiful butterflies, and wish them luck on their long migration to Mexico. Volunteers have helped us raise the caterpillars, monitor their growth, and make decorations to celebrate their release. Come join the fun and witness the beginnings of an inspiring natural phenomenon! We will be releasing them at Lusitania meadow. To be part of the parade, meet us at the treatment facility at 6pm. Otherwise you can meet us at Lusitania field at 6:30.

 

If you are interested in volunteering to help us with the release, please contact Julie at jcoffey@cambridgema.gov or (617)-349-7712.
