The Monarch Butterfly’s Journey

Discover the incredible annual pilgrimage of the Monarch butterfly.

Every year around the middle of May the Monarch begin to arrive at the Pollinator Paradise. It’s the end of a journey that took as many as three generations and almost 2000 miles to find our field of milkweed. We think this story of grit and perseverance is fascinating. It’s why we started the Pollinator Pack at the Birchwood Butterfly Ranch. It’s also why we hope you’ll come along on our journey to keep our oasis alive and the Monarch thriving.
