  "The Moraga Garden Club is determined not to see the predicted extinction occur by creating the Moraga for Monarchs program. Spearheaded by MGC members and co-chairs of the endeavor, Julie Stagg and Bobbie Preston, the steps toward creating a monarch waystation have quickly come to fruition.
"This past summer, Bobbie rallied a number of local families with milkweed, or just open hearts, to rear some monarch caterpillars," explained Stagg. "We fell in love with monarchs and were concerned about the drastic declines in native populations. I mentioned it to the MGC board, and [president] Penny Walwark requested an article for our newsletter. I passed the journalistic opportunity to our butterfly nursery leader, Bobbie Preston, and the rest is history.
"That was only a few months ago in November 2020," Stagg added. "The support for these amazing creatures is inspiring. We have since learned that rearing should only be done in small numbers for educational versus conservation purposes, but perhaps we will have a chance to right our wrong."
