October Meeting , Thursday, October 17, 2019 Topic – Developing Appropriate Monarch Butterfly Habitats –Large & Small Speaker -Ted Horton , Board Member Audubon International Ted was Vice President of Resource Management at Pebble Beach Company and is currently on the Board of Audubon International (www.auduboninternational.org), the newest partner of the” Monarch Joint Venture”: the largest collaborative established to arrest the decline of monarch butterflies. The project has devoted recent attention to guidance of large corporate, public lands and golf courses in particular to create habitat for the Monarch Butterflies. Audubon International discovered that golf courses represent a wonderful opportunity to plant milkweed and other wildflowers to provide everything monarchs need to survive. With this thought in mind, “Monarchs in the Rough” was established and through this program, information will be available which will guide land managers through pesticide reduction, site preparation, and planting and long term maintenance of habitat for pollinators using designated areas in golf courses across our nation. Ted suggests a possible long-term project: “Together we can develop patches of appropriate habitat, flowering plants for nectar, and Milkweed for egg hatching sites. We can work together to manage larger, open space habitat that could be adapted to appropriate plantings for the Monarch Butterfly and other pollinators.” Families in the Garden will continue their third Saturday of the month programs. (hiatus during June, July, and August) Families in the Garden programs are held at Rose Haven garden at 30592 Jedediah Smith Rd in Temecula in the Tree of Life garden area. @ 9:30-10:30am Any questions or additional info: Alicia R.
