Our Journey

The Malibu Monarch Project was established in 2013 to restore the overwintering Monarchs in Malibu and raise awareness about the concerning decline of the Western Monarch population. Now, a decade later, our commitment to this mission is unwavering as we engage in education, habitat restoration, and collaboration with a diverse network of individuals and organizations dedicated to Monarch conservation.

Our Values

At the core of the Malibu Monarch Project is our dedication to promoting healthy biodiversity and vibrant ecosystems that support all pollinators and wildlife. We advocate for pesticide-free practices and encourage the establishment of native plant habitats on both public and private lands. Our philosophy underscores the significance of collaboration, as we work with community members to protect the natural beauty of the Santa Monica Mountains from habitat fragmentation and degradation. Through our initiatives, we aim to strengthen the community's connection to the environment, focusing particularly on the Monarch butterfly and the ecosystems that thrive in the Santa Monica Mountains.
