The Magic and Mystery of Monarch Migration
Presented by Jessica Griffiths
Monday, November 18 at 7:00pm
El Chorro Park, SLO Botanical Garden Oak Glen Pavilion (across from Cuesta College)
Every fall, tens of thousands of colorful monarch butterflies return to the California coast to spend the winter. Join Jessica Griffiths for a fun and informative talk about these unique visitors. She will discuss surprising facts about monarch biology and the amazing ways that monarchs migrate and navigate, and give pointers about where to go around San Luis Obispo County to see this seasonal phenomenon. You will never look at a monarch butterfly the same way again!
Jessica Griffiths is the Coordinator for Monarch Alert at Cal Poly University, where she is also getting her Masters in Biology. Jessica has over 10 years of experience as a field biologist working with monarchs and birds on the Central Coast. Through Monarch Alert she is collaborating with several organizations and universities to engage citizen scientists in monarch research in order to further monarch conservation in the west.

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
