Monarch butterflies are near the brink of extinction, their population having declined by 99.9% since the 1980s. Increasing milkweed habitat is crucial to the species' long-term future.
Hankins expressed excitement about the vigorous resprouting of milkweed, stating, 'It is by far the tallest thing out here at this point in time on the ground.' Observers have already noticed monarch larvae on them.
Upon witnessing the devastation left by California's Park Fire, Hankins felt a punch to the gut, questioning if the efforts to restore the land had been in vain.
Yet, upon observing the areas that had benefited from deliberate burning, Hankins found success in the land’s ability to bounce back from extreme wildfire, demonstrating resilience.
