After 15 to 20 hours of metamorphosis, the larvae shed their skin to reveal the bright green chrysalis underneath.

Look for its purple or pink flowers along the edges of lakes, ponds and waterways, and in the forests and prairies of the Midwest. Native Americans ground the seeds into a salve for sores. The seeds have been steeped in boiling water to make a serum for drawing out rattlesnake poison. Be careful if you handle milkweed. The sap can irritate your eyes if you rub them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milkweed contains poisons that the monarchs absorb into their bodies. Predators who try to eat monarchs usually spit them out or get sick from the poison.

Some travel a few or a few hundred miles to find food or safe breeding areas. Monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles to find warmer temperatures because they can't survive long periods of cold weather. They migrate to find the conditions they need to survive-- trees on which to cluster, food, water and a mild climate. Protective branches overhead shield the monarchs from rain, snow or hail and underbrush provides cover if they fall to the ground. The monarchs find what they need in this park, so they return year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most migrating animals make the outward and return journey year after year. The butterflies that are here this year are not the same individuals that were here last year. This year's overwintering generation is made up of the great-great-grandchildren of the butterflies that were here last year!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains migrate to the transvolcanic mountains of central Mexico. Most of the monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains fly southwest to the California coast. As the daylight hours shorten in October the butterflies gather here, some from as far away as Montana and Canada. On the way to their winter homes they eat flower nectar in order to build up fat reserves for the coming cold months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their overwintering sites, like Natural Bridges, the butterflies cluster together to keep warm. When they hook their legs together into a tight mass, their combined weight helps keep them from being blown away by the wind. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the warmer, longer days of spring, the monarchs begin their return journey to the milkweed patches where they lay their eggs. They have to time their migration carefully: if they return too early and the milkweed isn't up yet, they will have no place to lay their eggs and the cycle will end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists speculate about exactly how the butterflies find the same overwintering grounds year after year. Does it have to do with Earth's magnetic field? the position of the Sun? geographic features? The answer could be any one or a combination of these-- or something as yet undiscovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monarch Dangers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Monarch butterflies face many dangers, from weather and lack of food, to accidents and being eaten. While the butterflies absorb poisons from the milkweed they eat, but they have other ways to warn off potential predators. Their bright black and orange coloring alerts would-be predators that they contain poisonous chemicals. Some birds, like black-headed grosbeaks, can tolerate eating some of the poison. Other birds, like black-backed orioles, eat just the soft insides of the insects, not the cuticle, which contains the poison. Monarchs can also fall victim to fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1998, the monarch population declined markedly in Santa Cruz County and has been declining ever since. A big reason is habitat loss. As the trees and groves age and thin out, there are fewer branches and leaves for the butterflies to cluster on and shelter among during blustery winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culprit in the late 1990s was the El Nino storms that felled many trees. Eucalyptus trees can outgrow their root systems, making them vulnerable to high winds. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monarch Conservation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Human activity poses the greatest threat to monarch butterflies. Monarchs aren't the only creatures that like beautiful coastal property. Habitat destruction caused by the building of new roads and housing developments or the expansion of farms makes it impossible for monarchs to live in a particular landscape. In Mexico, the high concentration of millions of monarchs in relatively small regions makes them particularly vulnerable, especially since some of the sites contain valuable lumber sources. Logging these areas opens up the forest canopy, providing less protection to the butterflies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milkweed is considered a weed by many people and so is often destroyed. Ozone and herbicides are destroying milkweed and the nectar-producing plants that the butterflies need for food. Pesticides kill the insects outright, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Get Involved\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One way to help out is to volunteer as a docent at the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two training programs for Natural Bridges each year: September and March on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays during the day. Docents lead monarch and tidepool tours for school groups during the week and the general public on weekends, host the Visitor Center, assist in the bookstore, help with special events, tend the milkweed garden, restore native plants, maintain the aquarium, share with others about the resources and more. Find our more by calling Natural Bridges State Beach at 831-434-4609.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can help by planting butterfly-friendly plants in your garden and not using pesticides or insecticides. Plant a variety of flowering shrubs that bloom at different times of the year, such as buddleia, sumac, alyssum, primrose, wild bergamot to provide nectar for the butterflies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Latest Visitor Photos\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Join the \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/groups/373254@N21\">Natural Bridges State Beach photo group on Flickr\u003c/a> to share your photos of this amazing place.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Additional Links\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=541\">Natural Bridges State Beach official website\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Monarchs journey as far as 2,000 miles on their paper-thin wings, seeking protected places like this one where they can find food, warmth and shelter. This grove provides the ideal conditions for the butterflies—and for you to see them.

Look for its purple or pink flowers along the edges of lakes, ponds and waterways, and in the forests and prairies of the Midwest. Native Americans ground the seeds into a salve for sores. The seeds have been steeped in boiling water to make a serum for drawing out rattlesnake poison. Be careful if you handle milkweed. The sap can irritate your eyes if you rub them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milkweed contains poisons that the monarchs absorb into their bodies. Predators who try to eat monarchs usually spit them out or get sick from the poison.

Some travel a few or a few hundred miles to find food or safe breeding areas. Monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles to find warmer temperatures because they can't survive long periods of cold weather. They migrate to find the conditions they need to survive-- trees on which to cluster, food, water and a mild climate. Protective branches overhead shield the monarchs from rain, snow or hail and underbrush provides cover if they fall to the ground. The monarchs find what they need in this park, so they return year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most migrating animals make the outward and return journey year after year. The butterflies that are here this year are not the same individuals that were here last year. This year's overwintering generation is made up of the great-great-grandchildren of the butterflies that were here last year!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains migrate to the transvolcanic mountains of central Mexico. Most of the monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains fly southwest to the California coast. As the daylight hours shorten in October the butterflies gather here, some from as far away as Montana and Canada. On the way to their winter homes they eat flower nectar in order to build up fat reserves for the coming cold months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their overwintering sites, like Natural Bridges, the butterflies cluster together to keep warm. When they hook their legs together into a tight mass, their combined weight helps keep them from being blown away by the wind. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the warmer, longer days of spring, the monarchs begin their return journey to the milkweed patches where they lay their eggs. They have to time their migration carefully: if they return too early and the milkweed isn't up yet, they will have no place to lay their eggs and the cycle will end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists speculate about exactly how the butterflies find the same overwintering grounds year after year. Does it have to do with Earth's magnetic field? the position of the Sun? geographic features? The answer could be any one or a combination of these-- or something as yet undiscovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monarch Dangers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Monarch butterflies face many dangers, from weather and lack of food, to accidents and being eaten. While the butterflies absorb poisons from the milkweed they eat, but they have other ways to warn off potential predators. Their bright black and orange coloring alerts would-be predators that they contain poisonous chemicals. Some birds, like black-headed grosbeaks, can tolerate eating some of the poison. Other birds, like black-backed orioles, eat just the soft insides of the insects, not the cuticle, which contains the poison. Monarchs can also fall victim to fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1998, the monarch population declined markedly in Santa Cruz County and has been declining ever since. A big reason is habitat loss. As the trees and groves age and thin out, there are fewer branches and leaves for the butterflies to cluster on and shelter among during blustery winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culprit in the late 1990s was the El Nino storms that felled many trees. Eucalyptus trees can outgrow their root systems, making them vulnerable to high winds. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monarch Conservation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Human activity poses the greatest threat to monarch butterflies. Monarchs aren't the only creatures that like beautiful coastal property. Habitat destruction caused by the building of new roads and housing developments or the expansion of farms makes it impossible for monarchs to live in a particular landscape. In Mexico, the high concentration of millions of monarchs in relatively small regions makes them particularly vulnerable, especially since some of the sites contain valuable lumber sources. Logging these areas opens up the forest canopy, providing less protection to the butterflies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milkweed is considered a weed by many people and so is often destroyed. Ozone and herbicides are destroying milkweed and the nectar-producing plants that the butterflies need for food. Pesticides kill the insects outright, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Get Involved\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One way to help out is to volunteer as a docent at the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two training programs for Natural Bridges each year: September and March on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays during the day. Docents lead monarch and tidepool tours for school groups during the week and the general public on weekends, host the Visitor Center, assist in the bookstore, help with special events, tend the milkweed garden, restore native plants, maintain the aquarium, share with others about the resources and more. Find our more by calling Natural Bridges State Beach at 831-434-4609.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can help by planting butterfly-friendly plants in your garden and not using pesticides or insecticides. Plant a variety of flowering shrubs that bloom at different times of the year, such as buddleia, sumac, alyssum, primrose, wild bergamot to provide nectar for the butterflies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Latest Visitor Photos\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Matt is what I like to call a \"friend of Home Energy,\" someone who is enthusiastic about our common cause: making homes healthier and more energy efficient. And Matt is a great communicator and advocate for the home performance profession. He wrote a great article, \"Finding a Partnership Between Solar and Energy Efficiency\" for the Home Energy Special Issue, Solar and Efficiency--Meeting the Energy Needs of the 21st Century, published this past April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I talked with Matt in a conference room in Cleveland, he pulled two clippings out of his backpack: one was from USA Today and the other was from the San Francisco Chronicle. There is a photo of a blower door in each article! Matt was recently interviewed for a QUEST Radio spot, “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/audio/view/305\">Sniffing Out Indoor Air Pollution\u003c/a>” (aired on May 11th).

Pretty soon the blower door will be as familiar to Americans as dual-flush toilets, blown-in cellulose insulation, and low-e windows. Matt and I were very excited about this development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abba Anderson wrote an article, \"The History of the Blower Door\" for the November/December 1995 issue of Home Energy. \"Perhaps no piece of equipment has changed the way energy professionals look at buildings more than the blower door,\" writes Anderson. \"Over the past 15 years, entire diagnostic procedures have evolved around this relatively simple device that can make subtle, but measurable, changes in house pressures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building scientists at Princeton University first used blower doors for research in 1977. Blower doors fit tight in doorways and have fans that can pressurize or depressurize a whole house-- in other words, make a house blow or suck. By monitoring the pressures inside and outside of the house and the flow rate of the fan, home performance contractors can get a good idea how leaky a house is. Leaky houses (thousands of cubic feet per minute, or CFM, of air leakage, for example) can be fixed, and tight houses (less than one hundred CFM, for example) can be retrofit with mechanical ventilation so that a controlled amount of healthy fresh air is brought into the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When builders began to build tighter homes, in the 1970s and 1980s, stagnant indoor air began to cause moisture problems. Now the mantra among the best homebuilders is \"Build it tight and ventilate right.\" Do you know where your indoor air is coming from?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"left\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/icon_jimg.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/span>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Jim Gunshinan\u003c/strong> is Managing Editor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.homeenergy.org\" target=\"_blank\">Home Energy Magazine\u003c/a>.

Matt is what I like to call a \"friend of Home Energy,\" someone who is enthusiastic about our common cause: making homes healthier and more energy efficient. And Matt is a great communicator and advocate for the home performance profession. He wrote a great article, \"Finding a Partnership Between Solar and Energy Efficiency\" for the Home Energy Special Issue, Solar and Efficiency--Meeting the Energy Needs of the 21st Century, published this past April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I talked with Matt in a conference room in Cleveland, he pulled two clippings out of his backpack: one was from USA Today and the other was from the San Francisco Chronicle. There is a photo of a blower door in each article! Matt was recently interviewed for a QUEST Radio spot, “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/audio/view/305\">Sniffing Out Indoor Air Pollution\u003c/a>” (aired on May 11th). And there he is in a\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/sets/72157600202090129/\"> QUEST flickr photo\u003c/a>, with a blower door! Pretty soon the blower door will be as familiar to Americans as dual-flush toilets, blown-in cellulose insulation, and low-e windows. Matt and I were very excited about this development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abba Anderson wrote an article, \"The History of the Blower Door\" for the November/December 1995 issue of Home Energy. \"Perhaps no piece of equipment has changed the way energy professionals look at buildings more than the blower door,\" writes Anderson. \"Over the past 15 years, entire diagnostic procedures have evolved around this relatively simple device that can make subtle, but measurable, changes in house pressures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building scientists at Princeton University first used blower doors for research in 1977. Blower doors fit tight in doorways and have fans that can pressurize or depressurize a whole house-- in other words, make a house blow or suck. By monitoring the pressures inside and outside of the house and the flow rate of the fan, home performance contractors can get a good idea how leaky a house is. Leaky houses (thousands of cubic feet per minute, or CFM, of air leakage, for example) can be fixed, and tight houses (less than one hundred CFM, for example) can be retrofit with mechanical ventilation so that a controlled amount of healthy fresh air is brought into the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When builders began to build tighter homes, in the 1970s and 1980s, stagnant indoor air began to cause moisture problems. Now the mantra among the best homebuilders is \"Build it tight and ventilate right.\" Do you know where your indoor air is coming from?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We don't just want to talk about it. We want to live it. But, what we are finding is that going green sounds good on paper, but it can have unintended consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was the case of one of the country's longest running experiments in green energy, the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Pass\" target=\"_blank\">Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area\u003c/a> (APWR). Located east of Livermore, the APWR is the site of the first wind farm in the country. It was installed in 1982, in response to the previous decade's energy crisis. It has over 5,000 windmills with a combined capacity of 580 megawatts. However, their average yearly production is 150 megawatts due to wind fluctuations throughout the year. But it has a problem that was unforeseen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No environmental impact study was done on the area, which lies along the path of a major raptor migration corridor. It is also a major raptor wintering ground. As a result, the APWR is responsible for the deaths of the most birds of prey of any wind facility in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2004, a report by the California Energy Commission stated that the Altamont windmills killed between 880 to 1,300 birds of prey a year. Those included 116 golden eagles and 300 red-tailed hawks as well as numerous burrowing owls kestrels, falcons, and vultures. Because of this incredibly high mortality rate, Alameda County regulators would not let additional windmills be installed. This was unfortunate, because California has a goal of obtaining 20% of its electricity from renewable resources by 2010, and the APWR wasn't going to be able to take advantage of that windfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2005, the companies that owned the windmills took unprecedented action. They initiated the seasonal shutdown of 1/2 of their turbines from November to February. In addition to this, they implemented several other strategies to minimize raptor deaths including the relocation or removal of 100 of the most lethal windmills. Their stated goal was to reduce avian deaths 35% by 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same year, the Alameda Country Board of Supervisors voted for the replacement of all existing windmills starting in 2009. They wanted the 5,000 older windmills to be replaced with 500 newer, 300-foot tall windmills. Each of these new windmills have blades that are longer than the wings of a 747 jet. Each one generates 2.5 megawatts of power. That means the capacity for electrical output will actually double to 1250 megawatts. Supposedly, the new windmills will kill fewer migratory raptors because they are more easily seen. Unfortunately, the plan will take 13 years to implement, meaning that it will take till 2022 for all the windmills to be replaced. As a result, raptors will continue to die in large numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moral of our story is that even the most well-meaning of green endeavors can have disastrous and unforeseeable consequences. Changing our world isn't going to be straightforward, but sustainability is no longer an option if we want to survive as a species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"left\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/icon_donovan.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/span>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Donovan Rittenbach\u003c/strong> is the Web Manager for the \u003ca title=\"California Academy of Sciences\" href=\"http://www.calacademy.org\">California Academy of Sciences\u003c/a>.

We don't just want to talk about it. We want to live it. But, what we are finding is that going green sounds good on paper, but it can have unintended consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was the case of one of the country's longest running experiments in green energy, the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Pass\" target=\"_blank\">Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area\u003c/a> (APWR). Located east of Livermore, the APWR is the site of the first wind farm in the country. It was installed in 1982, in response to the previous decade's energy crisis. It has over 5,000 windmills with a combined capacity of 580 megawatts. However, their average yearly production is 150 megawatts due to wind fluctuations throughout the year. But it has a problem that was unforeseen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No environmental impact study was done on the area, which lies along the path of a major raptor migration corridor. It is also a major raptor wintering ground. As a result, the APWR is responsible for the deaths of the most birds of prey of any wind facility in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2004, a report by the California Energy Commission stated that the Altamont windmills killed between 880 to 1,300 birds of prey a year. Those included 116 golden eagles and 300 red-tailed hawks as well as numerous burrowing owls kestrels, falcons, and vultures. Because of this incredibly high mortality rate, Alameda County regulators would not let additional windmills be installed. This was unfortunate, because California has a goal of obtaining 20% of its electricity from renewable resources by 2010, and the APWR wasn't going to be able to take advantage of that windfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2005, the companies that owned the windmills took unprecedented action. They initiated the seasonal shutdown of 1/2 of their turbines from November to February. In addition to this, they implemented several other strategies to minimize raptor deaths including the relocation or removal of 100 of the most lethal windmills. Their stated goal was to reduce avian deaths 35% by 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They wanted the 5,000 older windmills to be replaced with 500 newer, 300-foot tall windmills. Each of these new windmills have blades that are longer than the wings of a 747 jet. Each one generates 2.5 megawatts of power. That means the capacity for electrical output will actually double to 1250 megawatts. Supposedly, the new windmills will kill fewer migratory raptors because they are more easily seen. Unfortunately, the plan will take 13 years to implement, meaning that it will take till 2022 for all the windmills to be replaced. As a result, raptors will continue to die in large numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moral of our story is that even the most well-meaning of green endeavors can have disastrous and unforeseeable consequences.
