Restoration & Conservation
Monarchs Return to Sonoma County
At the Laguna Environmental Center, Monarch butterflies are back! Fall is generally when we see the most monarch butterflies, and this year there are more than in recent years. We even have caterpillars in our native plant nursery!
As if to show us the importance of our restoration efforts, they’be been flying around the milkweed in front of Heron Hall every day for the past few weeks. It’s heartening to know that over the years we’ve planted milkweed at our restoration sites, around our native plant garden, and at the Laguna Uplands Preserve, and that this year we are working with the Goldridge Resource Conservation Districtto take our efforts to an even greater level at more sites across the Laguna de Santa Rosa watershed and beyond.
Read more about these exciting sightings in our September issue of e-news.
