  A
Special Thank You to Our Supporters...
 The Xerces Society would like to thank our supporters across the country
who are promoting invertebrate conservation. From innovative farmers and
inquisitive students to back yard naturalists, your combined support makes
the work of our Society possible. We thank you all for your efforts! Today
we would like to highlight a few individuals who have taken great strides to
contribute to our conservation programs.
MARTA ESTRADA - REDWOOD MONTESSORI SCHOOL
[image: Marta] Only 5 years old, Marta Estrada is already doing her part to
help protect threatened and endangered invertebrates. This spring Marta
raised $25 for Xerces' Monarch butterfly
conservation<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103551909355&s=1&e=001ZGF3S8RbzpH3XJr27_7mQEIIR6nI5EJ7sx3I88nwBGF7quNGV2ovJrmMDg8hKm_sch58Uwge1e4yVX2oDJUaudBS7Ydv_m4HyP02wzwYVYvHn7mfE8gkWjBajnp_55yuj9l3SYcMW38=>and
we greatly appreciate her efforts.

Marta's fundraising began when each member of her kindergarten class picked
an endangered or threatened species to study for one month. Marta chose the
Monarch and learned all about its life-cycle and habitat. Her teachers
encouraged this project in hopes that all the students will become life-long
conservationists. Someday in the future, Marta plans to travel to see the
Monarchs up close. Luckily, since she lives just north of the California
overwintering sites, she does not have far to go.

pollinator conservation. He is working closely with Xerces to conduct native
wildflower restoration project through USDA-sponsored private landowner
conservation programs, as well as land reclamation efforts by other
agencies. Read More

WILSON -CITIZEN SCIENTIST
[image: Diane] Diane lives in Colorado and has been an amateur wildflower
photographer for many years. Last year she decided to photograph all the bee
species in a 1/3-acre garden plot. Diane documented over seventy species of
bees, including the rare Western Bumble
Bee<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103551909355&s=1&e=001ZGF3S8RbzpHrWVp_JygAFCQb13DKUOekDtcejWUI6YodHv7zW5hVMqrbVGtYFpYE6CZFRqSJUu9vA17-WjnYx6wPBT1yk1lMSv545Bs672JsYppCkyjYSNwcscV9aw01IgfomQNfwCs=>!
Diane sent her photograph to bumblebees at xerces.org, and that record has
contributed to our understanding of the bee's current range. The Western
Bumble Bee used to exist across 14 states and 4 Canadian provinces, but in
recent years, it has declined dramatically from parts of its range.

"This seems like an incredible diversity in just a 1/3-acre garden," noted
Diane. "I think it is a good example of how we can plant for bees and other
pollinators in the urban environment to help maintain pollinator populations
and conserve our rare species."
