The Banks/Strong Advocacy went to Milagra Ridge

Today at Milagra Ridge we had the chance to plant lupins to save the blue mission butterflies. Lupins are host plants for this species of butterflies. Our favorite part of the day was getting a chance to learn about these important butterflies and the symbiotic relationships associated with them. Our biggest takeaway was the importance to preserve these butterflies. We felt that while our efforts were important, they were not extremely beneficial in the short term preservation of these butterflies. In the future we will return to Milagra Ridge and witness the butterflies laying eggs and fluterring in the spring air. And to view our efforts in the real world.
