The woods and fields close by are home to a wide variety of moths and butterflies. These magical winged insects come in all different shapes, sizes and colors! Join Jay, The Nature Museum’s Environmental Educator, to learn about their amazing life cycle and the many species that are found right here in New England! Hands-on items, tales about magnificent moths and beautiful butterflies, along with a craft will captivate all ages.

“Caterpillars, Moths, and Butterflies, Oh My!” is a part of a series of special summer programming that we are offering on Fridays and Saturdays at the Fish Ladder Visitor Center for all ages. These free drop-in sessions are led by Jay DeGregorio, one of our Environmental Educators. This program is made possible with the generous support of Great River Hydro, owners of the hydroelectric plant in Bellows Falls on the Connecticut River.
