Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation invites you to join Roy Zartarian and the Connecticut Butterfly Association on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 10:00 am for his annual butterfly walk at Cedar Hill Cemetery.

Established in 1864, Cedar Hill is an American rural cemetery encompassing 270 acres on the south side of Hartford. Roy will lead visitors on this free walk through Cedar Hill’s ornamental foreground, which includes over 65 acres of ponds and woodlands. With nearly 20 species known to visit Cedar Hill, volunteers will help find and net butterflies for viewing. Appropriate hiking shoes, long pants and bug repellent are recommended.

Cedar Hill Cemetery is located at 453 Fairfield Avenue in Hartford. Admission to the program is free. The walk begins at the far end of the entrance drive. For more information contact Beverly Lucas at blucas@cedarhillcemetery.org or (860) 956-3311.
