NRH Monarch Restoration Program

A new  Monarch Waystation was installed at NRH Common Ground Community Garden this summer. The Waystation is part of the new NRH Monarch Restoration Program. The goal of the program is to invite citizens to participate by providing waystations for monarchs to stop at on their migration route and to help with the restoration of the recently declining monarch population. More Monarch Waystations are planned at Adventure World and Dr. Pillow Park. You can visit www.nrhmonarchs.com to get more information!
