Join Tim Martinez of Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy for a discussion about Monarch butterfly migration and the critical role of milkweed in the butterflies’ lifecycle at this free Second Thursday Plant Talk and Sale at the Huntington Gardens!

The Western Monarch Butterfly population has plummeted to a fraction of its historic numbers. Habitat loss and climate change threaten the very existence of this beloved pollinator. However, there’s hope!

This presentation will delve into Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy’s Monarch Recovery Project, a crucial initiative creating “Sky Corridors” – a network of native milkweed habitat that provides essential stepping stones for Monarch migration across urban landscapes. Discover how backyard restoration, urban greening efforts, and community involvement are making a difference. Learn how you can be a part of the solution!

WHEN: Thursday, July 11th from 2:30 – 3:30pm

WHERE: Brody Botanical Center: Ahmanson Classroom and Plant Sale Nursery, The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens: 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108
