butterflies need a safe wintering habitat for their survival. Each year
Journey North students generously do their part to support efforts to
conserve this habitat. This contribution, sent along with their paper
butterflies, "migrates" south to the sanctuary region in Mexico.
The money funds programs to help address the needs of monarchs —
and the needs of the people who own the land where the butterflies overwinter.
