Date
Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Hours
10:00 am - 2:00 pm

The Nature Conservancy is looking for volunteers to improve the beauty and biodiversity of our Eldora Butterfly Garden. Situated on the southern edge of the Pine Barrens, Eldora Nature Preserve is home to the Conservancy's Delaware Bayshores Center and has become a refuge for native birds and butterflies. Historically, the land was the home of renowned entomologist Dr. C. Brooke Worth, who recognized the importance of the site to rare moths.

In a recent effort to enrich the site's value for a variety of species, a small butterfly garden was created through a local Eagle Scout Project. The garden continues to serve as habitat to some of nature's most colorful flora and the amazing creatures they attract. Help us keep this preserve enjoyable to avian, insect and human visitors alike. No experience or knowledge of plant species is necessary...in fact, you will learn a lot from this unique experience and be able to apply the skills learned to your own back yard!

Can't make the work party? Additional work shifts are needed throughout the season. Please call for details.
