Spring into Conservation Fundraiser Monarch Migration: A Journey Worth Protecting

Thursday, April 17th 5:45- 9:00p.m.

Join us as we Spring into Conservation on April 17 with an after-hours celebration of North America’s most iconic butterfly, the monarch! It will be an inspiring and educational evening highlighting Butterfly Pavilion’s latest conservation project that protects the migratory monarch butterflies on their journey across North America. You’ll discover the vital conservation efforts to preserve one of Mexico’s most endangered forests, where these butterflies spend the winter.

Indulge in a Mexican-inspired meal, bid on exciting live auction items, and raise critical funds to protect migratory monarch butterflies. During cocktail hour, step into our Wings of the Tropics exhibit, a lush, indoor rainforest conservatory where you will be surrounded by nearly 2,000 butterflies. You can also explore Butterfly Pavilion’s terrestrial and aquatic exhibits, discovering just a fraction of the small but mighty creatures shaping our world.
