Oregon’s largest exotic and native butterfly exhibit and on site rearing lab.

As we make plans for the new season, we would like to pause and thank all who made 2009 a success,  as we welcomed visitors  to celebrate the beauty  and diversity of nature.

                 This past season we were fortunate to welcome many rescue critters into our family.   Grandpa  iguana Don and  iguana Donna,  and baby guacamole’,  Patton and Suede-a pair a buddy boa’s, and last but certainly not least, Buttercup, an albino python  who has blossomed to 12’.

                 While our exhibit highlights the beauty and fanciful flights of both North American and imported exotic butterflies, one of our many goals is to present nature and its interdependency through both exhibit observation and classroom education.
