To
Include Talk on Raising Monarch
Butterflies
Kingston, NJ. "Raising Monarch Butterflies" talk at the Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands Annual Meeting on Thursday, June 7,
from 7:30 - 9 pm. The featured speakers will be Kate and Katherine Dresdner. The
event is free, and all are welcome. The program will be held in the
Education Building at the Mapleton Preserve/D&R Canal State Park
Headquarters, 145 Mapleton Road, Kingston. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 609-683-0483 or visit www.fpnl.org
About the speakers: Kate and Katherine Dresdner, a mother/daughter team, have
raised and released over 200 wild Monarch butterflies during summer
seasons. They will talk about this mysterious and magical species: the
Monarch's amazing migration for thousands of
miles to its winter home in a forest in Mexico, and its developmental
life-cycle from egg to caterpillar and caterpillar to butterfly. Kate
and Katherine will discuss how to raise Monarchs, protecting them from
predators, monarch health issues, and how to grow milkweed, the sole
host plant for Monarchs. Their interest and passion for this species
developed from gardening with native plants and creating habitat for
birds, butterflies, and pollinators.
