On behalf of Westport’s Pollinator Pathway, and in honor of Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos — the day the Monarchs traditionally return to their winter sanctuary in Michoacán — we welcome Sara Dykman to speak live via Zoom, on November 1st at 6:30pm, to the Wakeman Town Farm community about her solo experience biking the 10,000-mile Monarch Butterfly Migration. Questions and answer session to follow. In 2017, Sara Dykman became the first person to follow — by bicycle — the eastern population of monarch butterflies on their roundtrip, multinational, multigenerational migration. From Mexico to Canada and back, her 10,201 mile adventure, on a beat-up bicycle , was a call to action. “The monarchs need us,” Dykman explained, “they can’t call politicians to demand healthy prairies or rally for native gardens. But we can. We might not be able to fly like butterflies, but we can bike alongside them, and be their voice.”
