This grant-funded initiative aims to address the steep decline of the western monarch butterfly population and amplify awareness of the monarch’s cultural significance.
Our goal is to establish a four-mile corridor of monarch butterfly habitat in south Napa, just 15 miles north of the closest overwintering site on Mare Island in Vallejo.
NVLA was the first school garden in Napa County to register a Waystation with Monarch Watch (#49,500). Shaped into a heart by the committed parent volunteers, this garden was installed in 2024 by the Dirt Girls program participants. Replacing dilapidated raised beds, this habitat became the heart of their school garden. 🧡
