Texas Master Naturalists Monthly Program: "Landscaping to Attract Butterflies”

January 19 2023

The Coastal Prairie Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists is hosting their free February Program: “Landscaping to Attract Butterflies” with Elizabeth White-Olsen at the Bud O'shieles Community Center in Rosenberg on February 2, 2023 from 7:00pm- 9:00pm.

Along with many species of wildlife in our country, populations of Texas Gulf Coast butterflies are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and other factors. In this presentation, we will learn what butterflies need to survive and complete their life cycle, as well as ways we can help them in our own yards.

The public is invited to join us for an inspiring and illuminating journey into the magical lives of one of nature’s most wondrous creatures, the butterfly.

Elizabeth White-Olsen is the co-founder of GO Native Landscaping, LLC, along with her husband, renowned naturalist Glenn Olsen. Through GO Native’s on-site consultations, custom landscape designs, and classes, she and her husband have supported hundreds of homeowners, business owners, municipal employees and apartment managers to choose sustainable, bird-and-butterfly-friendly landscapes. She has achieved a Native Plant Society of Texas Landscape Certification Levels 1 and 2 and is currently in training to become a Texas Master Naturalist through the Gulf Coast chapter. Elizabeth holds two Master’s of Fine Arts in Writing degrees. She has published articles on habitat restoration for Houston Chronicle and is the author of the poetry collection, Given Words.

Coastal Prairie Chapter Programs are free and open to the public. Guests can arrive as early as 6:30pm for refreshments and to mingle with chapter members.
