Additional information
The 2023 Monarch Butterfly Release Celebration will take place on Sunday August 20th from 2:00pm to 3:30pm at 250 Fresh Pond Parkway in Cambridge, MA. This is the eighth annual event in which live monarch butterflies are raised and released by the City of Cambridge into the urban wild. You can view the caterpillars' progress in the Fresh Pond Ranger Station until the release.
See the butterflies up close and personal, make some crafts, earn a Jr. Ranger badge, and learn about this fascinating insect from 2:00-2:40 at the Butterfly Headquarters behind the building. March down to the native meadow of Kingsley Park with us at 2:40 for a 2:45 release of all of the butterflies that were raised by rangers and volunteers. Hang out afterward, watch them fly, and complete your free Jr. Ranger activity booklet for a badge!
