A train once stopped in the middle of the Pine Bush. People from around the world would come to this spot to walk through the Pine Bush and look at the many wonderful butterflies. The stop came to be known as "Butterfly Station."

Butterfly Station at Farnsworth Middle School hopes to once again bring people into this beautiful and globally rare ecosystem. It is a student run community service program designed to make the school a center for the ecological restoration of our community.

Butterfly Station is a place where education and fun go hand and hand. Students learn by sharing and teaching. Young and old enjoy the beauty of the butterflies and the gardens. But most of all, everyone learns to appreciate their own natural community.
