• We will teach at every opportunity we are given. Through teaching we create a bridge for the next generation to take the torch and continue our work.

Do you know what tree this Northern Parula is perched on?

It’s a Pawpaw tree and it’s in flower! The Pawpaw is an important part of our local ecosystem, providing food and habitat for a variety of wildlife including migratory songbirds. The Pawpaw flower can be seen blooming in April and May and always reminds us that songbirds are migrating during this season.

Want to learn more about pawpaws, enjoy some delicious pawpaw treats, and celebrate this amazing native tree?

Did you know the pawpaw tree is the exclusive host plant for the zebra swallowtail caterpillar?

That means this beautiful butterfly depends on Pawpaw leaves to complete its life cycle. Look closely around pawpaw patches and you may spot the striking black-and-white adult fluttering nearby, or tiny caterpillars munching away on the leaves!

The relationship between the pawpaw and zebra swallowtail is a great reminder that our native plants support an incredible web of wildlife.

Come celebrate the Pawpaw and learn more about the fascinating plants, butterflies, and wildlife that call our region home on at the Harford County Pawpaw Celebration on September 26th from noon to 6pm at Brooms Bloom Dairy.
