The Butterfly Highway:

The Butterfly Highway is a statewide conservation restoration initiative that aims to restore native pollinator habitats to areas impacted by urbanization, land-use change, and agriculture across North Carolina. From backyard Pollinator Pitstops to large-scale roadside habitat restoration, the project is creating a network of native flowering plants to support butterflies, bees, birds, and other pollen and nectar dependent wildlife.

The Outer Banks Arboretum & Teaching Garden features a spot on The Butterfly Highway and offers visitors the opportunity to sit with the pollinators and learn more about their role in our ecosystem. Don’t forget to bring your camera!
