Join us on May 13th as Sergio Pierluissi presents: Maintaining Monarchs & Other Powerful Pollinators

Greetings once again!! Please come help us welcome Spring and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's very own Sergio Pierluissi, who comes to speak on the delicate miracle of monarch butterfly migration!!

From the incredible journey monarch butterflies make every year, to the thousands of species of pollinators and the services they provide every day, these phenomena and species are declining on the landscape. We will explore the biology of some of these fascinating species, what is at stake with their decline, and explore the opportunities we all have to make a difference in their conservation.

So, please tell your family and friends!! This talk will not be live streamed on Facebook, so we really hope to see you in person!!


Sergio Pierluissi has worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for 14 years in six states, mostly in our private lands program, both as a biologist and as a regional coordinator for the program. In that capacity, he has restored hundreds of acres of native grassland and wetlands in different parts of the country, and now pulls broader partnerships together to continue that work throughout the midwest region.
