26. The magical life of a Monarch butterfly and why they need our help -- with Janet Smith

In this episode, Janet Smith paints an amazing picture of what
life is like for a Monarch butterfly, what the state of their
population is, why we should be concerned, and what we can do to
help them.


Janet is a North Texas Master Naturalist, one of the main leaders
of the Dallas County Native Plant Society and one of the most
requested speakers on the Dallas County Master Gardeners Speakers
Bureau; after speaking with her and experiencing her passion and
depth of knowledge firsthand, we can see why!


In this weeks’ bonus episode, Janet goes more in depth about what
we can do to help the Monarchs and become Citizen Scientists.
