Due to unforeseen circumstances our presenter had to cancel. 
​

Monarch butterflies are beautiful and delicate in appearance, yet cover thousands of miles on a perilous journey to their overwintering grounds every year.  In this talk on Wednesday, November 17th at 1 pm in the City Council Chambers, we'll take a closer look at the biology and behavior of monarchs and discuss ways to help them and other insects in our own backyards.
​
