Kings Gap Environmental Education
Center Program Director, Gina Padilla announced on June 17 that the center will
host “Bring Back the Monarchs” on June 30. This free program is open to the
public.
The Center offers this program to educate on, and bring
focus to, monarch butterfly conservation efforts. According to the Center,
Monarch butterfly populations are down, primarily due to loss of proper food
and habitat. “Bring Back the Monarchs” will teach participants how to bring
back these beautiful creatures by creating Monarch-friendly habits in your own
yard.
The program will run from 2 to 3 p.m. and participants
will begin in the education building with an overview of the monarch lifecycle
and habitat, then move outside into the garden for a tour of butterfly habitat
and explanation of the national certification process for their own habitats.
For more information about programs contact the Center at (717) 486-3799.
