Help Restore Ellwood Mesa’s Monarch Butterfly Habitat

The City of Goleta and our restoration partners are calling for volunteers to help us restore critical habitat at Ellwood


Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.


The City of Goleta and our restoration partners are calling for volunteers to help us restore critical habitat at Ellwood Mesa. The monarch butterfly grove at Ellwood Mesa is one of the most significant winter sites for migrating monarchs in the Western United States, but the grove has suffered damage over many years of drought and severe winter storms. Together we will plant thousands of trees and native plants to provide vital shelter and food for these iconic butterflies.
