[Pollinator] Monarch butterfly events at Chicago Botanic Garden

[Matthew Shepherd]

I don’t think that this has been mentioned on this list (and if it has,
sorry for double posting), but the Chicago Botanic Garden has a couple of
monarch butterfly events this week.



On Friday (June 6), the Chicago Botanic Garden is hosting an all-day
symposium about monarchs and their conservation. It’s a stellar speaker
line up, including Lincoln Brower, Karen Oberhauser, Chip Taylor, Gary
Nabhan, and Scott Hoffman Black. There is a fee for this, and at this
point, there may or may not be spaces available. Full details of the day’s
schedule and registration is at
http://www.chicagobotanic.org/education/symposia_professional_programs/monarchs
.



On Saturday (June 7), CBG is celebrating World Environment Day. They have a
bunch of different activities throughout the day, including a talk by Scott
Hoffman Black at 1:00 p.m. This one is free and open to all, but the garden
prefers if people register in advance. There’s a link for Scott’s talk at
http://www.chicagobotanic.org/wed, where you’ll find information about the
other activities during the day.
