We are committed to encouraging and educating the community in creating "monarch way stations" to sustain monarchs along their annual migration routes and produce habitats so that these magnificent butterflies will once again flourish. To accomplish this goal, KKB is asking for your support. We would like to plant milkweed and other nectar producing plants along the fence by the railroad tracks at Sonora Park. This is a perfect location and out of the way of other park activities. After we clean-up the bird habitat (next year), we may make a second request to also plant in that area of the park as well. We hope you are in agreement with this activity as it will add to the beauty of the park and create an environment that everyone can enjoy. Please let us know if you have any questions and will support our efforts.
