Our Progress
Our organization was created to help support the mission of education and direct engagement. Through dedicated volunteers and business partners, GT Butterfly Charities provides the community ‘hands on’ learning opportunities for all ages. With your help, we can deliver some amazing educational experiences such as;
- Visiting Senior Homes and School Classrooms to present age-appropriate information about arthropods, and how everyone in the room can help.
- Sponsoring docent education directly to the visitors of the GT Butterfly House & Bug Zoo.
- Free handouts on local plant and butterfly relationships, to help bolster host plants in family gardens.
- Completion of a Nature Pavilion and Native Plant Walk, to provide an increase in educational programs in natural environment.
- Exhibit expansion for introducing new information and keeping current in our statistical data.
- Helping Local communities plan and plant for butterfly habitat and promoting good stewardship towards arthropods.
