Monarchs And Other Winged Wonders On Wednesday's Access Utah

The Denver Post

The Monarch and Other Winged Wonders Festival will happen on Thursday in Nibley. We’ll preview the event next time on Access Utah. We’ll learn about Monarch butterflies, bats, bees, fireflies, night pollinators, dragonflies and birds. We’ll talk about the decline in some of these species and how we can help. And we’ll discuss how being in nature can improve our health and well-being.

Our guests include Becky Yeager and Rose Greer with Monarchs of Bridgerland; Rachel Taylor with Monarchs of the Wasatch Front; and Shaunda Wenger, an educator in Cache Valley who helps with Monarchs.
