Butterfly Open House & Monarch Tagging
A butterfly open house will be held at the home of Ron and Carol Richael, 344 W. Beech St. in Pottstown, PA on Saturday, August 14th from Noon to 4pm. Guest will be able to see butterflies nectaring in the wild.
On Saturday, September 11th, from Noon to 3pm a second event, Monarch tagging, will be held at the same location. Monarch tagging is done in conjunction with Monarch Watch, a non-profit organization based at the University of Kansas. Tags are applied to the Monarchs to trace their migration to Mexico. Both events are sponsored by the Pennsylvania Butterfly Preserve, a 501 C-3 organization, which promotes butterfly education.
Everyone is welcome & admission is free for both events. More information may be obtained by contacting Ron Richael at 610-323-3805 or by emailing pabuterfly@yahoo.com .
