How to Start a Pollinator Garden
Every time you admire your favorite flower or take a bite of fresh produce, have you wondered how it got here? Chances are, you have a pollinator to thank!
La Jolla Planting
VCRCD’s Restoration team was joined by 13 dedicated volunteers to enhance a registered overwintering site recognized by Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.
Pollinators on Agricultural Land
At our November MRAC meeting, we learned about how agricultural and working lands can serve as a native habitat haven that both strengthens pollinator populations and overall health.
The Impacts of Milkweed in Overwintering Sites
It is a common misconception that monarchs use milkweeds across their habitats year-round. In fact, planting milkweed at historic overwintering sites can negatively impact monarchs.
Monarch Butterfly Education in Schools
VCRCD was recently invited by Ascension Lutheran School in Thousand Oaks to come speak to several classes about monarch butterflies. Spreading our love for conservation with future environmental stewards is one of the highlights of our work at the VCRCD.
VCRCD Adds Monarch Waystations
Creating Monarch Waystation can be as simple as adding native milkweed and nectar sources to existing gardens or maintaining natural habitats with milkweed.
