Event Policy & Guidelines
No Refund Policy: All butterfly purchases are non-refundable. In the event of adverse weather conditions, including but not limited to extreme rain, wind, or extreme heat, or unforeseen circumstances such as wildfires that prevent the release of butterflies from taking place, no refunds will be issued. Due to the nature of this release, there will be no alternative date set for the event. In this case, COHA will release the butterflies into their natural landscape. Please note that tax receipts will not be issued for the purchase of butterflies. Feel free to contact COHA for more information.
Butterfly Release Requirement: The butterflies will be released at the time shown in our advertising. To preserve the butterfly’s welfare, the timed release is of significance to release the butterflies as part of our conservation efforts. If a purchased butterfly is not picked up on time, COHA is responsible to release the butterflies into their natural landscape.
