March 15 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Get ready to flutter into spring at Har-Ber Meadows’ Arbor Day Celebration! Join us on Friday, March 15th, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM at the pool house for an evening filled with butterflies, fireflies, and fun for all ages!
Butterflies take center stage as we dive into the world of these beautiful creatures. Learn how to raise butterflies right here in Har-Ber Meadows. We will be giving away host plants for Monarchs, Black Swallowtails, and the elusive Giant Swallowtail, perfect for your patio or garden. You’ll also get two high-quality nectar plants to brighten up your sunny spots. Become a citizen scientist by reporting your butterfly observations and contribute to our understanding of these delicate insects. Please note, Curtis Leister is a resident enthusiast, not an expert, so while he can’t guarantee plants or butterflies, he’s full of passion and knowledge to share.
Ever wonder about fireflies? This year, they’re making a comeback to Northwest Arkansas, and Bentonville will even have its first Firefly Sanctuary in June. You can help create a Firefly Sanctuary right in our backyard! Participate in a Firefly Catch this summer to identify which species live in Har-Ber Meadows. It’s an easy, fun way to become a Citizen Scientist. Stick around for two 5-minute firefly videos at the end!
Arbor Day celebrates trees, so let’s tie it all together. Not just the 832 seedlings planted along Covenant Creek, but all our trees!
