Much of this decline can be tied to loss of milkweeds\, the plant genus that monarchs depend on for reproduction. Other factors likely include loss of nectar plants\, destruction of overwintering habitat and climate change. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Monarchs\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Milkweeds on SEINet\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DATE:\n\n\nFeb 2021\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Time:\n\n\nAll Day\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Location:\n\n\nMetro Phoenix\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n How Do I Join?\nSign up for iNaturalist and join the EcoQuest today! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Join The EcoQuest\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Partners\nCAZCA functions through extensive partnerships to stand together and further our conservation efforts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Other Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summer Education Series \n \n Webinar \n \n \n \n \n Incorporating Native Plants into your Landscape\n \n Aug 13\, 2026 \n \n \n Join us for an exciting webinar with City of Glendale's Anne Stahley on how to lower your water bill and conserve the desert by incorporating Sonoran Desert native plants into your yard! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Certificate of Interpretive Guiding\n \n Aug 26 - Sep 16\, 2026 \n \n \n For anyone wanting to learn more about developing and leading interpretive programs at parks\, zoos\, museums\, and cultural/historical sites.
