Monarchs in a Changing World: How These Butterflies Bring Us Together, part of the Spirit & Place Festival

Oliver's Woods Nature Preserve 8825 River Road, Indianapolis, United States

Learn about monarch butterflies and the importance of conservation while helping to complete a new mural!

This event asks what wider transformation needs to happen for our world to remain hospitable to these magnificent creatures.
