The City of Goleta is calling on volunteers to roll up their sleeves and to join a volunteer planting at Ellwood Mesa. This conservation project will help restore the monarch butterfly habitat at Ellwood Mesa – one of the most significant winter sites for migrating monarchs in the Western United States. With populations in decline due to drought and storms, this effort aims to plant 800 trees and nearly 10,000 native plants to provide vital shelter for these iconic butterflies, and we need your help!
