What if there was a “campus”, with a butterfly house, large native plant demonstration gardens with interpretive signage, and an indoor-outdoor educational center, built for and with community members, students of all ages, and with agency and governmental support? A place that would attract both eco-tourists and locals wanting to learn about how to help save the butterflies - and all the other native pollinators.

Southern Oregon is one of the most ecologically diverse regions in the country. Creating a learning and exhibit space to bring knowledge of the plants, pollinators, fish, birds, and more into a city setting would be amazing and beneficial in both the short and long term.
