Greetings!
Spring is here and TDG is once again in it's busy season. We are booked with children's school groups participating in our EarthKeeper's School programming almost every week day this month. Our First Annual Easter Egg Hunt is sure to be a hit, as well. We know that many of our volunteers will be spending time with their families on Easter Sunday, but if you have time to share with families visiting TDG that afternoon, we sure would love to see you.
As always, we are in need of regular volunteers to serve as Butterfly House Docents in our Butterfly House. Our "temperature-controlled" indoor Butterfly House may not have seemed so temperature controlled when we first opened up, but thanks to some recent work, it is now.
We hope you'll share some of your time with TDG and our visitors this month or in the coming months. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thanks!
