The Thornton Burgess Green Briar Nature Center & Jam Kitchen in East Sandwich presents Butterfly Walks in the Shirley G. Cross Wildflower Garden with Entomologist Blake Dinius, Saturdays, July 19 & August 9 from 10am-11am.
Massachusetts is home to over 100 species of butterfly. With names like “satyr,” “monarch,” and “nymph” butterflies evoke fantastical imagery of small mythical creatures flitting about. They form an intimate connection to the plant-life in the area, as both primary consumers of leaves and pollinators.
Find a new a way to exercise, relax, and reconnect with nature by joining our guided insect walk in the historic Shirley G. Cross Wildflower Garden.
Our target species will be summer flying butterflies, including monarchs, fritillaries, and skippers.
No experience necessary. This will be a casual, meandering walk with an emphasis on identification, observation, and appreciation.
