Caterpillars – Unpolished Gems Poster
You probably already know that the caterpillar is the early life stage of the butterfly. But can you tell what kind of butterfly or moth it will turn into just by looking at it? To help you identify caterpillars and discover the kinds of plants they feed on, we produced a poster featuring stunning illustrations of caterpillars and the butterflies or moths they transform into.

Wild About Butterflies Poster
With close to 300 butterfly species living in Canada for all or part of their life cycle, it can be tough to know which is which. CWF’s poster entitled Your Backyard Butterflies, can help you identify some of the more common and colourful species. It profiles some of the jewels of the insect world and their habitat needs.
You can welcome these graceful pollinators into your backyard by planting their favourite wildflowers. Our wild about Butterflies handout provides fascinating facts on the life of butterflies and explains how to create a butterfly haven. It is full of ideas to get you started in attracting some of our many winged wonders.

Golden
Gardens
Wildlife from coast to coast is benefiting from the efforts
of seniors. Hundreds of seniors' groups from Squamish, BC
to St. John's, Newfoundland, are working on Golden Gardens
projects. As a legacy of the International Year of Older
Persons, 1999, the program enables seniors to help meet
the needs of wildlife through native plantings, nesting
structures, ponds, and many other habitat projects outlined
in our Golden Gardens booklet.
