Reservation staff are raising Monarch butterfly caterpillars for release at Fresh Pond! This butterfly species is under threat, and we’re taking action to raise awareness about the importance of habitat protection and ecological stewardship at Fresh Pond.

Join us to celebrate the growth of our monarch caterpillars into beautiful butterflies, and wish them luck on their long migration to Mexico.

A family-friendly parade, open to all (costumes and noisemakers welcome) will take us from the Water Treatment Facility to Lusitania Meadow, where we’ll send our butterflies off into the flowers.

Feel free to just meet us at the meadow too! Volunteers needed to help with decorations, crafts, and costumes.

RSVPs and questions? Contact Martine at (617) 349-6489. Project information located at www.cambridgema.gov/monarchwatch.
