Cedar trees are the main host plant for many insects in the caterpillar stage.
The Juniper hairstreak is a beautiful butterfly found on prairies and in woodlands where cedar trees serve as host plants for their caterpillars.
The widening of Arkansas 265 will wipe out more wildlife habitat than efforts to protect and recreate urban wildlife habitat in Fayetteville can achieve in the next few years.
