Come learn about how you too can help save the Monarchs and keep this beautiful butterfly from going extinct!! You'll see up close and personal the types of milkweed, and see, touch and experience Monarchs from cats to butterflies. ​

​Hi my name is Rachel Shamy. I am married with 12 yr old twin boys. I love being out in nature and especially love anything with wings!! I am going on my 3rd year of doing a butterfly transect for the Toledo Metropark. We monitor how many butterflies come thru each week and what their nectaring on. I have also been focusing my efforts on the conservation of the Monarch butterfly. I have been learning more about their plight and the need to help save these beauties!! I will teach you how to help them thru the planting of Milkweed and hand raising them.
