Butterfly House

Friends of Hashawha Bear Branch Butterfly House

Our butterfly house has been built! It is located across the road from the nature center next to the new parking area. It is the first public butterfly house in Carroll County!

A native butterfly house is a seasonal outdoor exhibit. It is a mesh structure filled with native plants that serve as butterfly and moth “host plants". You can observe the complete lifecycle of native butterflies and moths throughout the season.

FHBB’s Butterfly House was built through a Carroll County Recreation and Parks grant and the generous donations of many local residents. Donate to our GoFundMe or our PayPal account to help cover the costs of maintenance and plantings.

We plan to open the butterfly house to the public in the Spring of 2026. Watch our website and social media for updates! If you want to volunteer with the butterfly house, please visit our volunteer page or attend a meeting to learn more.
