May 16, 2012: the City
of Pacific Grove finally made public (in response to a
citizen's public information request) a hither-to secret plan
for major changes to the Sanctuary. Monarch scientists and
concerned citizens have previously rejected this plan as
potentially harmful to the monarchs' habitat, against the
CC&Rs of the CA state wildlife easement that governs the
Sanctuary, and a waste of valuable resources, since the
monarchs cluster away from the proposed area. See the proposed plan here.May
