Please join Sierra Club Valley of the Fox group at 7 p.m. Monday, March 14, on Zoom, for an evening filled with appreciation for the beauty, importance of the monarch butterfly.
Environmental biologist and Fox Valley Park District natural areas technician, Ray Wronkiewicz, will share his expertise with an evening of amazing facts and practical knowledge about monarch butterflies and other helpful pollinators. Why are monarchs so important to the environment? What is threatening the monarchs and what can we do to protect them? How do monarchs make the 2,000-mile trip on their migratory paths?
Most important to the gardeners and future gardeners amongst us, Ray will provide ideas on how to plan our pollinator gardens that provide food and reproductive habitat, plus how to choose the correct native plants and where you can obtain them. You can have a beautiful pollinator garden that will not only attract monarchs and other butterflies and pollinators, but help to nurture them and provide nourishment for their long flight from the northern United States and Canada down to Mexico.
