Through the efforts of its International Committee, the Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is planting 108 Milkweed plants in their yards. The Monarch Butterfly lays its eggs exclusively on Milkweed. When the caterpillars emerge, they eat the Milkweed and metamorphose into the beautiful Monarch butterflies which migrate between Canada and the Central Coast. Mark Shelton and Sandy Lee spearheaded the project after hearing about a similar project by the Passport Club. The plants were donated by a generous local, native plant breeder.
