The Nature of Things: Monarchs and Pollinators in Our Urban Desert

Insect populations are declining globally at a rapid rate due to many factors, including the loss of nectar and breeding habitat, and pesticide use. What can you do at home or in your community to support insects and their vital functions in our urban ecosystems?
Natalie Melkonoff, Plant and Insect Ecology Program Manager at Desert Botanical Garden, will discuss monarch butterflies and other insects, and how to create habitat that supports them. Learn how you can participate in a science initiative to monitor plants and butterflies in your own community!
Join us at Hamilton Library for this exciting event and an opportunity to win a milkweed plant to take home!
