April

Earth Day is April 22, 2009.  Make plans to head outside in celebration of all nature has to offer!  Go on a tree identification hike, check out the wildflowers that are popping up or see if you can tell which birds have made their migration back to KY.  

June-July

Students in grades K-5 can register for our Leaf Scrapbook Program.  This program, which was formerly held in the fall, will kick-off in early June with events being offered during the summer months.  See the education section for additional information on previous years.

Mid-August through September:

Monarch Butterfly Program  - - Watch for the return of the monarch in our area in April or early May.

Teachers interested in participating in the August 2010 program can sign-up by calling our office at 222-5123.

Mid-September be on the lookout for the monarchs as they migrate through Oldham County on their way to Mexico.  It's a truly a sight to see!
