This weekend I ventured down to Cape May, New Jersey. Visited the Garrett Family Preserve, where an event for the Monarch Butterflies was taking place. A butterfly wing statue was carved by Rubem Robierb, an artist originally from Brazil. I got to greet his husband — Sam Champion (left), Barbra Brummer — the NJ State Director of Nature Conservancy (left center), and the Cape May Mayor — Zack Mullock (back right). The preserve has 180 acres of tidal marsh and native flower fields for the migration of the butterflies and the birds. It was truly a beautiful sight. Sadly, Monarch Butterflies are on the endangered species list. 70% of their population has been depleted. It is time to act now with saving our environment. Do your part. Get out and save the planet!
