There is a newly opened wildlife area in Lower Twp. The area covers 180 acres along the Cape Island Creek and encompasses a number of different habitats for birds. It is also a great area for butterflies. I recently met a friend there and we walked part of the property. While walking I saw many Common Buckeyes and lots of Orange Sulphurs. After she left I continued walking the perimeter trail. I found a set of 4 arbors, a bird blind that overlooks both the marsh and an Osprey platform and all 3 of the artist easels that are set up around the property. Along the green trail I found a field of yellow flowers that were filled with many Monarchs, Sulphurs of various species, Buckeyes and other butterflies and bees. I look forward to going back again soon.
