Monarch Butterfly Grove Update
Wednesday, February 08th, 2012 /

Not too late to the see the Monarchs. The season is winding down for this year, but we still have 20,000+ Monarchs in the grove. They will be packing up by the end of the month.  Last Saturday saw the  California Western Monarch Day at the grove and was well attended. The Monarchs put on a great show.

If you have missed this season we hope you will put it on your Bucket List for next year.

Plans are in place for a joyful celebration of Western Monarch Day at the Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove. There will be butterfly talks and educational booths for adults, as well as art activities for children.  The main attraction, however, is the thousands of Monarchs hanging in huge clusters from the eucalyptus and pine trees in the grove. The grove will remain open through the month of February from 10am-4pm with docents providing daily talks at 11am and 2pm. For more information, please visit www.MonarchButterfly.org.
