Our play will be hands-on, messy, and fun! This program will be held outdoors, rain or shine, and is only cancelled in the event of extreme weather, with 1 makeup date available per session. Please dress accordingly! Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Class may not run if there is low registration. Fees are per caregiver/child pair.

Butterfly Feeding (06/20/2026)

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 14:30:00 GMT

Don’t Miss This Magical Butterfly Experience!

Step into the Butterfly House, a seasonal 12′ x 24′ outdoor exhibit located near the Visitors’ Center and our Native Pollinator Garden, for a rare hands-on encounter with native butterflies and moths.

In this immersive small-group experience, families with children ages 4 and up will have the opportunity to feed live butterflies nectar and observe these delicate creatures up close as they flutter, sip, and occasionally land gently nearby. You'll also have the chance to view chrysalises in various stages of development and learn about the fascinating life cycle of butterflies through educational displays and guided interpretation. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

After your butterfly adventure, get creative and give back to nature by making a pollinator-friendly seed ball to take home and plant, helping support butterflies, bees, and other essential pollinators in your own community.

Butterfly species vary by season and availability but reflect those naturally found in the Tenafly Nature Center preserve during spring and summer.

Be sure to explore the Native Pollinator Garden next door, which showcases the host plants and nectar sources that support local butterflies, bees, beetles, hummingbirds, and other wildlife throughout the year.

Please note: The Butterfly House is closed during rain, overcast conditions, or when temperatures are below 70°F.

Twice a month, our Forest Defenders team gathers to clear out these invaders and restore the health of our woodlands. You’ll learn how to identify invasive species and work side-by-side with our expert Land Manager using safe and effective removal techniques. It’s a hands-on, high-impact way to make a real difference in local conservation—and it’s more fun than you think!

Forest Defenders welcomes adults, teens, and families—children 15 and under must be accompanied by a guardian. All hours count toward school or community service requirements. Activities take place entirely outdoors, so please dress for the weather and terrain. In case of inclement weather, sessions will be rescheduled.
