P I N E L A K E W. I.
CREATING A BUTTERFLY
G A R D E N was the topic
of study presented by Teressa
Greening, Environment
Convener, at the May
8 meeting of the PineLake
WI. Although many species
of butterflies migrate south
in the winter, many hibernate
i n Central Alberta if
they have adequate shelter
in which to over winter.
Teressa displayed an attractive
manufactured " butterfly
house" but protection can be
provided with shrubs,
foliage etc. By observing
what colours attract butterfly
species, clumps of flowers
3an create pathways to
encourage their presence.
Feeding stations would give
further incentive for a
friendly butterfly environment.
Swiss guest, Marina
Speck, joined the ten members
for their regular meeting.
Marina and Peter
Speck, world travellers, are
guests at the farm of Bob
and Irma Lawrence. Marina
expressed interest in the
educational aspect of

criminals coming into
Switzerland.
