How To Raise Monarch Butterflies

About Carol Pasternak

Carol Pasternak is a highly acclaimed monarch enthusiast, author, teacher, and photographer.   Her expertise includes raising common butterflies and moths, and how to bring them to your garden.   Her efforts to 'save the world for butterflies', start with advocating for the planting of butterfly gardens everywhere, all the way to providing employment for poor people in Mexico, so that they are not driven by economic need to cut the forests the monarchs rely on over the winter.  Carol's book, How to Raise Monarch Butterflies, A Step-by-Step Guide for Kids, is loved by adults and kids alike.  It is virtually the textbook for all who love monarchs, or who want to raise them, with 35,000 copies sold.


When she is not busy volunteering and exploring wild areas, Carol works as a Personal Fitness Trainer to Older Adults in Toronto
