Supporting Monarch Habitat
Easily recognized with its bright orange color, black stripes and white dots delicately painted across each wing, the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) may be one of nature's most iconic butterflies. Yet the population numbers of this once bountiful species are plummeting towards extinction due to several threats, including global climate change and habitat destruction.
The survival of the monarch butterfly is dependent on the abundance of native milkweed. Our work planting milkweed throughout the Laguna watershed will help support these dwindling populations.
We invite the public to come out and see the butterflies at the Laguna Foundation's Environmental Center this fall. Stay tuned for more information on a volunteer day of planting milkweed this spring.
Find out more about how we are helping to support the monarch butterfly population:

Around Your Watershed
Donate to our $100,000 Challenge for Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife
Building a resilient landscape is an overarching priority of the Laguna Foundation, as our changing climate will continue to affect every living species and our way of life. We know that improving our wetland ecosystem is critical to mitigating these changes, and necessary to reduce the risk of wildfire and flood damage.
We invite you to be a part of our $100,000 Challenge for Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife. Your end-of-year gift will enable us to continue our restoration work building resilient landscapes, creating more wildlife habitat, improving the quality of our drinking water, and inspiring more children to become the next generation of Laguna stewards. Your continued generosity makes us a leader in conservation in the Laguna watershed.
