Maraleen Manos-Jones has raised, released and tagged monarchs since 1972,
and, after a two month search in 1977, became the first woman from the U.S.
to discover the monarchs overwintering habitats in Mexico. Returning almost
every year since then, she has worked with local communities and with
Forests for Monarchs, a non-profit reforestation project that has planted
six million trees over the past 14 years.  

She intertwines fascinating science, myth, culture, art, poetry, legend, and
literature, combined with environmental issues, to share her passion and
concern for butterflies and their habitats.   She is also known as Butterfly
Woman. 

She has lectured extensively, including at Harvard Museum of Natural
History, Yale Peabody Museum, National Museum of Natural History, and the
Florida Federation of Gardeners.
