Butterfly Trails and Pollinator Paths: Beautiful and Beneficial

Healthy yards filled with native plants attract, feed, and shelter local pollinators. Learn how you can join Leonardtown's Butterfly Trail by planting a butterfly stopover in your yard.

Leonardtown’s Butterfly Trail is a growing effort to support pollinators (especially birds, bees, and butterflies) by creating a landscape corridor of habitat and nutrition for them from the library to the wharf and across surrounding neighborhoods.

Amy Henderson is a member of the St. Mary’s County Garden Club and Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay. She volunteers regularly at the Leonardtown Library’s Front Yard Garden and has become a passionate advocate for native plants and pollinator-friendly ecosystems. With the help of other local native plant enthusiasts, she’s helping to establish and expand the Butterfly Trail in Leonardtown.

This event is hosted by The Leonardtown Butterfly Trail and the St. Mary's Public Library - Leonardtown. Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay will be on hand with an outreach table to help answer questions about native plants.
