What fire takes, we must help rebuild. 🔥🌲🦋
The video below shows a site we lost to fire a few years ago. Sadly, we’re now facing that same reality again.
Two recent fires have impacted sanctuary areas within the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve—places that serve as critical overwintering habitat for monarch butterflies and support entire forest ecosystems.
Wildfires are becoming more common and intense. While some are natural, many are human-caused—and preventable.
Here’s how we can all help reduce the risk of wildfires:
✅ Avoid open flames and campfires in dry forests
✅ Never burn trash or debris near protected areas
✅ Support reforestation and forest health
✅ Plant native trees to build climate and fire resilience
✅ Talk with others about fire safety and forest protection
We can’t prevent every fire, but we can help restore what’s been lost.
This Pollinator Week, we’re raising $1,000 to plant 1,000 trees in fire-impacted areas of the Reserve.
Every $1 plants a tree. Will you help?
