 We're very excited to host Fraser Jones to show his film Where the Butterflies Go, a film about how to save the endangered monarch butterfly. As we all know the Monarch Butterfly Migration to our little coastal town is a special time of year and has been slowly dwindling. Their numbers are now down 99.9% since the 1980s. That is why we have asked Groundswell Coastal Ecology, The Natural History Museum and Natural Bridges to join the film maker in a discussion surrounding conservation along with an open Q & A. We're very excited!Â

By engaging community in restoring the native habitat Groundswell Coastal Ecology works to create healthier, more resilient coastal ecosystems.
To do this they develop nature-based solutions to ecological problems. They partner with land managers, agencies, stakeholder groups, and the public to identify, prioritize, plan, and implement projects that enhance biodiversity and the long-term health of coastal habitats. Their process is inclusive, participatory, science-based and incorporates education and art.
