September 5 – Monarchs and Pollinators

7:00 pm at at the Michigan Nature Association Education Room, 2310 Science Parkway, Okemos, MI 48864

Join us to hear from Fenner Nature Center Program Manager, Jenny Mensch, about the many ways Fenner is helping to increase the declining monarch population and educating the greater Lansing region about the conservation of monarchs and other pollinators. In 2017, Fenner Conservancy constructed an exhibit to raise awareness in the community about pollinator conservation through the raising and rearing of monarch butterflies – the Monarch House. Since then, more than 300 monarch butterflies have been reared, checked for parasites, tagged, and released.
