Celebrate One of Nature’s Wonders -- The Monarch Butterfly.


Come and explore one of the area's largest Monarch Groves with the County of San Luis Obispo's Golf Superintendent, Josh Heptig, and/or former Cal Poly Entomology Professor Dr. Kingston Leong.  You will witness and stand near thousands of Monarch Butterflies while learning of their amazing migration to the Central Coast. You will also discover how the golf course works to enhance the land to benefit the surrounding community and various creatures that live there.
