New Conservation Book Teaches
Grand Rapids Kids Monarch
Butterfly Raising
With Jeanne Megel’s new book,
you can teach your kids a
wonderful lesson they’ll never
forget by raising stunning
monarch butterflies in your back
garden this summer.
Her book has been written to
help everyday home gardeners
in Michigan work collectively
towards the conservation of the
monarch butterfly, a beautiful
but endangered species.
Megel hopes that her
efforts will continue the
ongoing educational
awareness work of the
Frederik Meijer Sculpture
Park and Gardens. 
As the Frederik Meijer park is
especially beloved by children,
Megel hopes her new book can
become a way for you and your
children to bond as you protect
the beautiful butterfly. 
With your children already
spending long days in the
backyard, she believes that
now is the perfect time to
embark upon a holiday
science and conservation
project. 
While you may think of butterflies as being particularly ephemeral,
monarchs which are born in the late summer are born to migrate, so they
often live for as long as nine months. 
In ‘Raise Healthy Monarchs At
Home’, Megel teaches readers of
all ages how they can raise
monarch butterflies in their back
garden by following her clear and
simple steps.
