Louisville Nature Center’s Swallowtail Forest School preschoolers release butterflies

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Preschool students had the fun opportunity to release butterflies on Friday.

Louisville Nature Center’s Swallowtail Forest School students released monarchs and swallowtails to help them continue their migratory journey.

“Finding monarch caterpillars and their chrysalises is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about life cycles and see the magic of monarch metamorphosis, all while contributing to citizen science,” Swallowtail Forest School Director Olivia Kaiser said.
