The Return of the Karner Blue Butterfly

Ann Elliott Cutting Photography

The caterpillar of the federally endangered Karner blue butterfly feeds solely on leaves of the wild lupine plant and lives only where lupine thrives. In Ohio, 250 acres of the rare oak savanna habitat that lupine depends upon has been restored opening the door for a reintroduction program with hand-raised Karner blue butterflies.

Featured Preserve: Ordway Memorial Preserve

Lawrence/Gayelynn Worcester/Galusha

The grasslands of the Great Plains once covered one fifth of the North American Continent. Ordway represents a fraction of what remains after the west was settled. Visitors are reminded of the history of the Great Plains through the numerous granite boulders and potholes that are evidence of the area's glacial past.
