Open Circle
Bill Toone presents “Roar of the Monarch Butterflies” on Sunday, May 17, 10:30 a.m. at Open Circle at the Lake Chapala Society.
The discovery of the overwintering sites of the monarch butterfly is probably the greatest natural history discovery of the century. From Fred Urqhardt’s childhood fascination with butterflies came a remarkable journey of discovery that spanned decades and the participation of thousands of citizen scientists. Fifty years later, this amazing biological phenomenon is on the brink of extinction and there is a silent killer in the communities around the reserves. Learn more about the race to save the butterflies and the people who share their forest home.
