Our Rotary Passport Club members planted 100 new milkweed plants in Laguna Lake park this past weekend because we LOVE monarch butterflies!
The Western monarch butterfly population, including those that overwinter in the Central Coast area,, has declined significantly due to habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and diseases, leading to a potential extinction risk.
This will be an ongoing project for our club- watering the plants when the rains stop and adding more native plants to the area. Special Thanks to our own Alice Hamrick for organizing!
YOU are welcome to help us anytime!
