Our Funds at Work: Bug Zoo

At the March meeting, we awarded $2000 to the Sawtooth Botanical Garden for their annual Bug Zoo Festival. This fun and educational festival is open to all youth and adults, with a special emphasis on youth from pre-K to 5th grade. It consists of 4 days of class visits plus a lively family festival on Saturday to wrap up the event. The focus is on interactive education, getting youth hands-on with critters and educational exhibits. Dates for this year are May 11-16.

Youth at Bug Zoo get to see metamorphosis in action and feel the flutter of a butterfly in their own hands. This boy is getting ready to release two butterflies that were once just caterpillars! Hope you can check it out!
