Friday, May 28, 2010 - Oxbow's Nature For Families Follows Butterfies June 12

Take an adventure into a world of vibrant colors, curling mouth pieces and sticky feet as the Oxbow Eco-Center discovers beautiful butterflies and their unique adaptations on Saturday, June 12 from 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

See what makes them one of the most popular and well-liked insects as part of the Oxbow's ongoing Nature For Families program, which is designed to make learning fun for the whole family. Participants will get a chance to experience life through the eyes of a butterfly, meet some native butterflies that live around the Oxbow, and create their own butterfly to take home.

The program is appropriate for all ages.  Cost is $3 per child and reservations are required.  For more information, contact Amanda Thompson at (772) 785-5833, or send an email to thompsonam@stlucieco.org, or visit www.oxboweco.com. 

The Oxbow Eco-Center, St. Lucie County's premiere environmental learning center, is situated on 225 acres along the St. Lucie River at 5400 N.E. St. James Drive, Port St. Lucie.
