Welcome to...

The Monarch butterfly is currently in trouble. I had wondered why we were seeing fewer and fewer of these iconic orange and black butterflies. In 2006, on our property, one could count 20 - 30 butterflies a day, nectaring on our wildflowers. Their current population is less than 3/4 of normal, and each year sees fewer of these glorious creatures. Scientists are working to discover the mystery of their disappearance - before its too late! As I became aware that these lovely insects were fading fast, I researched ways to try to help them, before they disappear forever. In the next few pages, I will summarize my activities and what I am doing to try to help all pollinators, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife.
