About the Event
Pacific Grove is a fantastic place to view monarchs with thousands more than 2020 wintering in this location! Join us for a tour of the Monarch Sanctuary to learn about the lifecycle and status of these precious and beautiful butterflies! There will be a Docent on site 12PM-1PM to answer any questions our group may have. Right now there are 9,544 butterflies. Afterwards you can drive over to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History to look at their fabulous exhibits.
We'll be meeting at the Monarch Sanctuary entrance at 12PM, parking along Ridge Rd.
