Raising monarch butterflies is an excellent Introduction to Nature project for families, classrooms and youth groups.

Monarch Butterflies in the Pacific NorthwestThe realization that our western Monarchs are in greater peril, at least currently, than their eastern counterparts, has been embraced by many people and entities in the western US in the past year or so. Prominent among these is 'Western Monarch Advocates' (WMA), a bold group of concerned enthusiasts and scientists, whose aim is draw people together from all walks of life in the west, for the betterment of Monarch butterfly populations. One of the first actions of this group was to hold a highly successful conference in Monterey, California earlier this year, which attracted a unique blend of professionals and enthusiasts. The most recent action of WMA is to launch an exciting new website which should become the home for all things 'Western Monarch'. Please check it out and visit it often for regular updates on how we are all helping to improve the future for Monarch butterflies in the western US.
