About this event
Many of us have heard the bad news: monarchs are in decline. The good news? Urbanites may play a key role in helping these butterflies and other pollinators bounce back. Join Erika and Iza from The Field Museum’s Urban Monarch and Pollinator Initiative to learn how city-dwellers can support eastern monarch populations and other pollinators through community science, civic action, and home gardening.
