Subject: URGENT: INFORMATION NEEDED
To Whom it may concern:
My name is Cody. I live in Santa Barbara, CA. Near
my home there is a Monarch Butterfly habitat. This habitat is
severly threatened as a housing project is planned. I am in
desprate need of information on the effects of wood smoke
(from fire places in this case) on butterflies. This issue is
very time sensitive as the board is meeting next Wednesday
(8/6/97).
ANY information on any types of butterflies and smoke would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cody

Hi Cody,
I forwarded your message to Karen Oberhauser at a local
University here in Minnesota. Karen is an entomologist who
studies the monarch. I know she spent time in CA this winter
working with colonies there. I know development in general
is a major threat to butterfly habitats, but she will be able
to give you a better answer than I could about the smoke.
Good Luck - I hope you are able to help protect the habitat.

Karen and Liz,
We got this message this morning and it is very specific- too
specific for me to answer. I've done rather well on the "How
long does a butterfly live?, How far do they fly in one day?" etc....
I thought you two might be able to help more than we could
on this one. I wouldn't be surprised if that info isn't online
somewhere - I just don't know where.
Thanks in advance,
-karen

Karen: You may be gone already, but in case you get this,
I did send Cody a message about who to contact on this
question. Good luck with your new endeavors!
We'll miss you.
