Exploring Nature Speaker Series: Saving the Monarchy

Join Tracy Aviary for an engaging presentation on the iconic monarch butterfly. We’ll explore their amazing migration (up to 3000 miles!), what it takes to visit Utah each year, and how each of us can help them avoid the Endangered Species List.

Join Tracy Aviary monthly, April – August, for our new Exploring Nature Speaker Series.

This month, we explore the iconic monarch butterfly and hear from the founder of Utah Friends of Monarchs, Rachel Taylor, as she works to secure this species’ future one milkweed seed at a time.
