VALPARAISO — Monarch butterfly habitat is declining due to development and the widespread use of herbicides in croplands, pastures and roadsides, but a local art center is trying to help the colorful pollinators.
The Art Barn School of Art will celebrate its new monarch habitat with the Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce during a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 23. The instillation of the Monarch-Marker Gardens supports the lifecycle of endangered monarch butterflies, according to Art Barn Executive Director Amy Davis Navardauskas.
