Exquisite and fragile, yet strong enough to migrate thousands of miles, monarch butterflies have captured our imaginations with their beauty and complexity. Elke Jahns and her husband Garth have come to know these magical creatures well while documenting their transformation up close. What makes these butterflies so special? How can we help them? And what happens when some tough urban teens encounter a butterfly raised by their classmates? In this lively presentation, Elke will discuss facts and myths about monarchs and share heartwarming stories and captivating photos from their experiences. For ages 10 and up.
About the presenter: Long-time SVT member Elke Jahns-Harms teaches International Development Aid at The Fletcher School of Tufts University, and previously taught Music and Social Change at the New England Conservatory. Elke holds a PhD in International Relations, a Master’s in Music, and a B.A. in Geology and Environmental Science. She has presented her talk on monarchs for local conservation organizations, garden clubs, public libraries, community centers, and continuing ed programs.
