More Information
Please join us at the I-26 West North Carolina Welcome during the month of April to learn about Monarch Butterflies and the importance of milkweed. Participants can tour the grounds and look for monarch eggs on our common milkweed plants. Inside the welcome center participants can pick up information packets about Monarchs, milkweed, and other pollinator friendly plants as well as a free pack of wildflower seeds. We will also have displays on owls, bluebirds, bobcats, and the American Chestnut.
The grounds of the welcome center/rest area have plenty of free parking, a walking trail, picnic tables, grills, and public restrooms.
The event will be held from April 1, 2024 to April 30, 2024 from 8am to 5pm each day.
