Forest Products for a Flapping Butterflies

Butterflies are not only beautiful creatures that bring joy to our gardens, but they also play a vital role in pollination. Forest products can help attract butterflies to your garden and provide them with the resources they need to thrive.

One way to attract butterflies is by planting native flowering plants that provide nectar for adult butterflies. These plants can also serve as host plants for butterfly larvae, providing a food source for caterpillars. Additionally, creating a butterfly garden with a variety of plants and flowers can provide shelter and resting spots for butterflies.

Forest products such as wooden butterfly houses can also provide a safe habitat for butterflies to roost and hibernate. These houses can be filled with materials like twigs, leaves, and bark to create a cozy environment for butterflies. Additionally, creating a water source, such as a shallow dish with stones for butterflies to perch on, can help attract these beautiful insects to your garden.
