Monarch Habitat Hike

  • Rockwood Hall 1 Rockwood Road Sleepy Hollow, NY, 10591 United States (map)

Hosted by Rockefeller State Park Preserve

Join Shayla and Hailey on a family-friendly hike that will explore the natural monarch butterfly habitat in the Rockwood Hall area. Over the last couple of decades, the number of monarch butterflies has been sharply declining, but for a few short months each year, monarchs call Rockefeller State Park Preserve home. Learn all about the monarch butterfly, their life cycle and incredible migration, why their numbers are in decline and, most importantly, what we can all do to help them.

MEET AT THE ROCKWOOD PARKING LOT; the hike will be about 2-3 miles with frequent stops for discussion. Don't forget water! The hike will continue in light rain; however, in the event of heavy rain, the hike will be canceled and a full refund will be issued. You will be notified via email two hours before.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS HIKE IS AT ROCKWOOD HALL (1 Rockwood Road, Sleepy Hollow, NY) DO NOT GO TO THE MAIN PARK ENTRANCE!

Cost: $3 + Eventbrite fees. Maximum: 30 Participants.
