View the flittering and fluttering of tiny wings as beautiful butterflies enjoy the summer flowers of French Creek Nature Center’s Butterfly Garden.  Open daily July 1 through September 12 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., enjoy some of Ohio’s native butterflies, some of which have been caught in our own Metro Parks, as well as non-native species.  These colorful and amazing creatures go through a unique metamorphosis to change from a caterpillar to a butterfly.  Some of this process will take place in the garden as we wait for some butterflies to emerge from their chrysalis (moths spin a cocoon) and make their home in the garden.

Stop in for an opportunity to view the color and beauty of butterflies and learn how to attract them to your own garden at French Creek Nature Center’s Butterfly Garden.  French Creek Nature Center is located at 4530 Colorado Ave, Sheffield Village.  For more information, please contact French Creek at (440) 949-5200.

Take a challenge and become a part of the new 50-mile Club.  This hiking program starts July 1 and goes through March 31.  Any hike led by a metro parks staff member qualifies you for your miles, which are recorded in 1/2 mile increments.  Get your card at any of the hikes, and have the leader maker your miles at the end of the hike.  You will receive a special reward for 50 miles, and if you are really hiking inclined, do 100 miles and collect a different reward!  Also for real challengers, a special recognition will be given for the super hiker - the one with the most miles collected over 100.  All cards must be turned in by April 15, 2010 to qualify.
