Event Details
Take a mid-day break with our High Noon Talks! Discover interesting and often untold stories of Texas at our casual lunchtime series.
Journalist, author, and butterfly advocate Monika Maeckle explores the fascinating science behind the annual migration of these remarkable insects from Canada to Mexico every fall in her book The Monarch Butterfly Migration: Its Rise and Fall. Maeckle will share insights into the butterfly lifecycle, environmental challenges, and conservation efforts to preserve this iconic species for future generations.
Maeckle will be available to sign copies of her book, which can be purchased on-site, after the High Noon Talk from 1–1:30 pm.
This program is FREE to the public.
Monika Maeckle is the founder of the Texas Butterfly Ranch and the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Festival. The author of Plants with Purpose: Multitasking Plants That Thrive in Warm Climates, she lives in San Antonio, Texas, and has tagged more than 10,000 butterflies.
Public programs at the Bullock Museum explore relevant history and celebrate the culture that has shaped our modern world. Through engaging discussions, performances, and scholarship visitors are invited to see local connections and discover how Texas fits into a broader national story.
