Members Only Native Trees and Butterflies Walk Members Only
Members Only Free Event Nature Walk/Hike
Most of us associate butterflies with flowers but trees play a big part in supporting butterflies and are every bit as important as flowers. An interesting example is the mourning cloak butterfly which only sparingly feeds on the nectar of flowers. Its larval food is primarily from tree species and as an adult it feeds mostly on tree sap from oaks.
Jen Skarsaune, a nature lover, tree hugger, gardener, homesteader and Certified Tennessee Naturalist will be sharing a glimpse of the wild places at Lucky Dog Homestead in Butler, TN. She has a bachelor’s degree in Biology, was an ISA Certified Arborist and spent most of her career in vegetation management doing jobs from invasive species control to utility forestry. During this walk we will discuss our native trees and the butterflies they support.
