The Calvert Marine Museum Education Department, through the efforts of Alice Merkel, was able to obtain a grant from the Cove Point Natural Heritage Trust in order to create a Butterfly Waystation to support local pollinators and assist the Monarch Butterflies in their annual migration. By planting of native Milkweed Common plants and other native plants, it is our hope that this will create new opportunities for educational interpretation to visitors to the site about the importance of pollinators to the greater Chesapeake Bay region.

An experienced museum professional in both collections and education, Alice Merkel, is a senior Educational Interpreter at the Calvert Marine Museum.

Light Refreshments will be provided.

This free lecture series is supported by a generous grant from Cove Point Natural Heritage Trust.

The Calvert Nature Society Presents environmental lecture series is a year-long educational initiative designed to engage Calvert County residents with accessible, informative and inspiring presentations on environmental topics relevant to Southern Maryland. Each lecture is free and open to the public. 

In addition to lectures, the series will showcase natural science research projects and assessments in Southern Maryland – especially the small grant projects that CPNHT supports – as well as other volunteer based activities that contribute to the improvement of the environmental health of our local ecosystem.
