A Childhood Fascination Blossoms into a Lifelong Passion

Growing up in the lush landscapes of New Jersey, she spent countless hours observing the delicate dance of monarchs fluttering through the meadows. This early fascination blossomed into a lifelong dedication to understanding and protecting these winged wonders.

Groundbreaking Research Unravels the Mysteries of Monarch Migration

As Eileen Small delved deeper into the world of butterflies, she recognized the urgent need for scientific research to unravel the enigmas surrounding their remarkable migration. Teaming up with renowned entomologist Dr. Fred Urquhart, she embarked on groundbreaking studies that would revolutionize our understanding of monarch behavior.

Together, they developed innovative tagging techniques that allowed them to track the butterflies' epic journey from their breeding grounds in North America to their wintering sanctuaries in Mexico. This meticulous research revealed the intricate navigational abilities, the formidable obstacles, and the astonishing endurance of these tiny creatures.

A Tireless Advocate for Monarch Conservation

Armed with irrefutable scientific evidence, Eileen Small emerged as a powerful advocate for monarch conservation. She tirelessly campaigned for the protection of their breeding and wintering habitats, which were facing unprecedented threats from deforestation, pollution, and climate change.

Her passionate voice echoed through scientific conferences, government hearings, and public forums. She rallied support from diverse stakeholders, including landowners, farmers, urban planners, and school children, instilling in them a deep appreciation for the importance of these iconic butterflies.

Establishing a Haven for Monarchs: The Monarch Waystation Program

Beyond advocacy, Eileen Small sought tangible solutions to address the dwindling monarch population. In 1994, she founded the Monarch Waystation Program, an innovative initiative that empowered individuals and communities to create welcoming havens for monarchs along their migratory pathways.

This grassroots program transformed gardens, parks, schools, and even corporate landscapes into vital stopover points for the butterflies. By providing nectar plants, host plants, and shelter, the Monarch Waystation network provided a lifeline for monarchs during their arduous journey.

From Sanctuary to Sanctuary: Safeguarding Monarchs in Mexico

Eileen Small's conservation efforts extended beyond the borders of the United States. She recognized the critical need to protect the monarchs' wintering grounds in Mexico, where they congregate in staggering numbers.
