“The population is probably only 50 percent of the long-term average,” Taylor said. “There’s no question the monarch population is going down. It’s the same old story we hear over and over — loss of habitat.”

Regarding the habitat area:

 We would also like to give MMSD a big thank you for donating rain barrels to the site to keep the plants watered!
