In the first count of the year at the sanctuary, 3,823 butterflies were counted.In 2020, zero butterflies entered the sanctuary during their entire annual migration.Close proximity to an overwintering site is a 'no milkweed zone,’ and includes all of Pacific Grove.Especially ones that will bloom in the fall, winter, and/or spring when monarchs are on the peninsula.Educating the public about the importance of protecting these important overwintering sites is a great way to spread awareness of the plight of the monarch and its amazing migration."
