Fundraising for Butterflies

We are holding our annual Vessey's fundraiser!! We would like to purchase monarch butterfly larvae and study the butterfly life cycle in both preschool, afterschool and even Kindermusik will have an opportunity to enjoy this project!!!!

From World Wildlife Federation:
Monarch Butterflies drop by 59%

The Monarch Butterfly is just now leaving its winter home in Mexico, occupying less area – under 3 acres – of oyamel fir forest in Mexico’s central highlands than ever before recorded. Causes for the decline include loss of the monarch’s only host plant, illegal logging; heavy ecotourism in Mexico; and climate change in breeding and wintering grounds.

Let me know if you are interested in seeing the catalogue for spring planting!! Orders must be in by April24!!!
