The Weakly has a story about the efforts to import some trees for this coming winter’s butterfly migration.

Heavy pruning of the sanctuary’s eucalyptus trees a year ago may have been responsible for the estimated 96 percent drop in the monarch population there last overwintering season – although, according to butterfly experts, the population simultaneously fell about 90 percent throughout the Central Coast.

Funny is the comment from M. Butterflies:

Monarch Butterflies are known to be very conservative Republicans who believe in the rule of law, individualism, and private property. Most Monarch’s have changed their migration patterns to avoid over-taxed nanny states like California.

This attempt to set up overpriced Government subsidized housing is going to be considered a serious insult to a vast majority of Monarch’s, who are all ready counter-protesting Monterey Counties boycott of Arizona.

When the butterflies don’t have a trolley or signs guiding them from the beach to 17 Mile drive, someone steps in to help.

To help boost butterfly numbers this year, Pacelli and other P.G. residents and butterfly enthusiasts are buying boxed trees to temporarily fill the gaps and provide wind breaks.

One tree is already placed, but the group aims to add about 20 more by the end of September, in time for the monarchs’ October arrival. They ask supporters to send donations with a note marked “Monarch Habitat Trees” to: P.G. Chamber of Commerce, 584 Central Ave., Pacific Grove, CA 93950.
