David Suzuki Foundation Project: Butterflyway Project
The Riley Park Community Garden is a part of “Growing a Butterflyway”, a David Suzuki project. We help protect local butterfly species by planting pollinator-friendly borders, creating habitat for various bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects all year round. You can find more information on the Butterflyway Project and Riley Park’s involvement here.
