Butterflies are a cherished insect coming in thousands of species (hundreds of species residing in California alone). As pollinators they are essential to the health of the environment, and although delicate, they often fly hundreds of miles to propagate their species. The Idyllwild Nature Center celebrates butterflies in every way possible. Join us for a day of visiting with butterflies, seeing them up close, and taking nature walks to see these insects keeping the forest thriving. It’s an event you won’t want to miss!
