For 2016, the MIWP is going to take on the poignant saga of the decline of the Monarch butterfly.

I might sleep better if I could tell you more than that, but I do know that costumes will be spectacular. Please join us; if you wear white, the talented designers of the MIWP will turn you into an oversized Monarch caterpillar!

Meet at the marina one half hour prior to parade time (the parade usually starts at 10:30 AM, but check with the Chamber of Commerce) under the MIWP banner. Or just look for the float with the giant lepidoptera.

Everyone is welcome; children and dogs are encouraged. For questions, comments, suggestions or compliments, call Victoria Erhart in early July.

Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve

The Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve is a non-profit land trust dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural areas on Madeline Island. The nature preserve lands are open to the public for hiking, skiing, berry-picking and hunting. MIWP is committed to education and advocacy — each summer we sponsor field trips and evening programs. Madeline Island is adjacent to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on the South Shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
