Students will come away from this class with a deeper knowledge of the perfect storm of events responsible for the decline of the Monarch butterfly species. They will also be empowered to act - if they so choose - to be an advocate for Monarchs in their respective communities.

I am an active participant in several programs whose goal it is to strengthen Monarch survival rates. I have a degree in Environmental Science and am certified by the the National Wildlife Federation as an official "Monarch Steward," a certification that requires dozens of hours of classroom study as well as significant field work.
