Monarch Habitat & Pollinator Rescue
2023-25
In the 1980s the western Monarch migration count averaged 3.5 to 4.5 million butterflies per year. In 2021 that number fell to less than 3,000 – a 99.99% population collapse. The IUCN estimates a staggering 40% of pollinators, including Monarchs, are in imminent danger of extinction.
Without pollinators humanity is at risk of extinction.
Volunteers have galvanized across the West for the rescue of Monarchs and pollinators and so have we. In collaboration with Sonoma State University we are conducting milkweed and pollinator restoration trials to determine best practices for landscape-scale restoration projects of Monarch and pollinator habitat. Donate now to help us bring back these iconic species.
Monarch Habitat & Pollinator Rescue
2022-’23
In the 1980s the western Monarch count averaged 3.5 to 4 million per year. In 2021 it was less than 2000 (0.01%). Pollinator populations are in collapse. Volunteers have galvanized across the West for their rescue and so have we. In collaboration with Sonoma State University we are conducting milkweed and pollinator restoration trials to determine best practices for landscape-scale restoration projects of Monarch and pollinator habitat. Join us to help these iconic species.
Oak Woodlands
Sonoma Valley
2023
The iconic oak woodlands of California play a vital role in California’s ecological health. Valley oaks in particular are a keystone species, supporting approximately 300 animals, 1,100 plants, 370 fungi, and 5,000 insects and invertebrates. These oak woodlands have a direct beneficial impact on everything from local and regional economies to erosion, biodiversity, climate resilience, and the quality of our soil, air, and water.
