9th Annual Monarch Butterfly Festival takes place July 19 at the Living Prairie Museum

Released: July 8, 2015 at 12:11 p.m.

Winnipeg, MB - The Living Prairie Museum presents the 9th Annual Monarch Butterfly Festival on Sunday, July 19 from noon until 4:00 p.m.

The festival is a free family event that encourages butterfly conservation. Make your own butterfly wings, map your milkweed, and create a little piece of prairie in a pot.

Guest speakers Cary Hamel (Nature Conservancy Canada), Jeff Marcus (University of Manitoba), and John Morgan (Prairie Habitats Inc.) will be sharing information about butterfly biology, conservation, and creating habitat.

Learn about the place that many butterflies call home by taking a guided hike through the tall grass prairie preserve, bring your butterfly questions to “Ask an Entomologist,” and bring a t-shirt to make a one-of-a-kind festival souvenir. Free milkweed will be available!

For more information on this event, or to volunteer, please call 204-832-0167 or email , follow the Living Prairie Museum on Twitter @livingprairie, like Living Prairie Museum on Facebook, or visit City of Winnipeg - Living Prairie Museum.
