Community Programs

Biology and Butterflies offers small-group nature programs hosted in parks, schools, and neighborhood community spaces where children explore butterflies, pollinators, and the ecosystems that support them.

How our program works

  • We offer community programs in three settings:

    • Park Discovery Days

      One-day nature programs held at parks or community spaces.

    • School Programs

      Four-day butterfly discovery series held during the school day.

    • Neighborhood Host Programs

      A family may host a program for their neighborhood or invited group.

    Each option offers the same meaningful experience, just in different locations.

  • Children participate in a calm, hands-on nature experience where they:

    • Observe live butterfly life stages

    • Learn about plants, pollinators, and ecosystems

    • Ask questions and explore curiosity

    • Engage in movement-based learning games connected to the theme

    • Build respect for living things and the natural world

    Our goal is not to overstimulate, but to help children slow down, notice, and connect.

    • School Programs: 30–45 minute sessions during the school day

    • Park Discovery Days: one-day programs lasting approximately 60 minutes

    • Neighborhood Host Programs: small-group programs scheduled based on host interest and group size

    Programs may vary slightly depending on the location and setting.

  • Families may choose to become a Neighborhood Host if a program is not currently scheduled in their area.

    A host gathers a small group of friends or neighbors and provides a location such as a backyard, driveway, or shared community space.

    When enough interest is gathered, we work with the host to schedule a program for that group.
