Sarah lives in Wisconsin and has experience working with the state park system as a Stewardship Coordinator and continues to volunteer and lead interpretative hikes with a focus on monarchs. She enjoys teaching “Leave No Trace” programs and fun fact! She is learning all about how to grow her “Grandpa Grapes”, which have been in her family nearly 80 years!

Inquire: Students interact with a slow reveal graph showing Monarch Butterfly decline and discuss.
