Monarch butterflies were recently spotted in the park!

Monarch butterflies embark on a marvelous migratory phenomenon. They travel between 1,200 and 2,800 miles or more from the northeast United States, and southeast Canada to the mountain forests in central Mexico, where they find the right climate conditions to hibernate from the beginning of November to mid-March.

The planting of native salvia in the veterans area of the Chandler Creek Meadows Park helps attract these butterflies and helps to save this endangered species.
