Monarch Butterfly Grove 400 S Dolliver St, Pismo Beach, CA 93449 ☎ +1 805-773-7170 Last Updated: 05/31/2024 |
| The Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove is a publically owned, protected overwintering site for western monarch butterflies. Monach clusters are found in over 200 coastal sites, including several sites in San Luis Obispo County. The Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove generally has one of the largest overwintering western monarch populations. | |
| At the Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove, the tall eucalyptus and Monterey cypress trees provide the shelter and canopy for thermal stability. Although cool temperatures are needed to slow the use of stored energy reserves, monachs cannot survive long periods of freezing temperatures. Unusually warm temperatures trigger a search for food and mates. Adjacent to the grove of trees is a natural garden with native flowering plants that provide nectar for the adult butterlies. | |
