Monarch Butterflies
Kate and Katherine Dresdner have raised and released over 200 wild Monarch butterflies during summer seasons. They will talk about this mysterious and magical species: the Monarch's amazing migration for thousands of miles to its winter home in a forest in Mexico, and its developmental life-cycle from egg to caterpillar and caterpillar to butterfly. Kate and Katherine will discuss how to raise Monarchs, protecting them from predators, monarch health issues, and how to grow milkweed, the sole host plant for Monarchs. Their interest and passion for this species developed from gardening with native plants and creating habitat for birds, butterflies, and pollinators.
