Do you want to volunteer?
We need help with annual events and other activities throughout the year. Please contact us through our Facebook page or email wmp@ftdt.org if you'd like to volunteer.

Butterflies are a sign of a healthy environment and ecosystem. With your sponsorship, you and/or your business can ensure Windsor's continued health and beauty.

In addition to environmental benefits, butterfly habitats are a common point of interest for many tourists. Your investment in the Windsor Monarch Project will also serve as efforts to bring in more foot-traffic on the River Trail and in Windsor Center. The butterfly habitat will be a great addition for Windsor residents and visitors alike.
