Did you know there is a Monarch Butterfly Garden on Pittock Mansion’s grounds near the viewpoint? Or that the population of North American monarchs has declined by 80% in recent years, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will soon decide whether to list it as a “threatened” species? Explore the mysteries of the monarchs’ migration with Amy Rebecca Kaufman, author of The Monarch’s Message, as she reveals the facts behind this fictional story of the most phenomenal migration in the insect world. Illustrated by fifteen acclaimed wildlife photographers, the book offers rare views of real stopping places along the trail, culminating at the overwintering grounds on a volcano in Mexico. This captivating tale of resilience resonates with people of all ages. A Q&A and book signing will follow the talk.
