Description of Our Community: Being situated beside Hou-Jin Creek, closely next to Metropolitan Park, Cuei-Ping Junior High and Elementary School set up the butterfly garden in 2002. With the great ecological environment of our campus being formed as an ecological corridor with Hou-Jin Creek, Cuei-Ping Butterfly Garden built an environment for butterflies to rest and reproduce. Furthermore, under the efforts of our teachers and students on promoting butterfly ecological education on campus, Cuei-Ping Butterfly Garden has become a new paradise for butterflies.

Project Description: The MOXA Foundation fully sponsored our school to establish the butterfly garden. There grew a variety of nectar source plants and food plants in the garden to breed the butterflies, so as to provide teaching materials and close observation. During the time when classes rearing caterpillars, teachers instructed students how to take care of those little creatures together and made the whole school get involved in the activity. We hoped that through the process of learning the lifestyles, reproduction, and living strategies of butterflies, every participant could understand the importance of environment to species, cultivate the concept of caring our surroundings, and also sow seeds of the conservation in Taiwan.
