    Cleveland Metroparks has created a number of Monarch Waystations
    in the Park District for these flying friends. Even though
    butterflies do not need to worry about luggage or gas prices, they
    still need to find food along the way. Cleveland Metroparks has
    joined a nationwide effort to increase the number of places
    butterflies can �fill their tanks.� In a number of locations in the
    Park District, gardens are filled with wildflowers and milkweeds
    for butterflies to snack on. Cleveland Metroparks is careful not to
    use harmful pesticides in these areas and happily share them with
    hungry insects of all kinds.



    Enjoy the beautiful monarch butterflies this August and
    September with Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
    naturally!
