On April 15th at 7:00 pm we are excited to present -
The Butterflyway Project by Carolyn Green Carolyn.Green@dal.ca
​The Butterflyway Project describes itself as “helping people create viable pollinator habitat in neighborhoods across Canada”
This presentation will first introduce the national campaign, started by the David Suzuki Foundation in 2017. Then it will describe how it has been developed as a multi-faceted dynamic campaign by the Blomidon Naturalists Society, located in Nova Scotia in The Valley. A special focus will be why and how this movement, characterized as “bringing nature home” calls for a revolution in why and how we garden.
​
Carolyn Green has been gardening for over 40 years and is a Master Gardener. She is currently serving as chair of The Butterflyway Project-- A David Suzuki Foundation national campaign-- for the Blomidon Naturalists Society, located in The Valley. Now retired, Carolyn has pursued education in the new pollinator garden movement, including coursework with the Pollinator Partnership to become certified as a Pollinator Steward. Her home garden, started when she moved to the Valley 11 years ago, has been certified as a Wildlife-friendly Habitat by the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
We are excited to have a children's area this year, provided by Nourish Nova Scotia!
