About Kym:
Kym has been responsibly supporting monarch butterfly conservation for over 5 years with efforts in education, habitat support, rearing monarchs, and tagging and tracking monarch migrations. Every year she also participates in multiple community science projects researching monarch health and conservation. Her goal is to establish a monarch conservation organization in Chattanooga, and, as the first step, she has created a monarch conservation website: magicalmonarchs.org. Her mission is Conservation, Education, and her Passion for the Magical Little Creatures called Monarchs. She is also a member and webmaster for the Tennessee Valley Chapter of the North American Butterfly Association and I have recently designed and programmed their website: tnvalleynaba.org.
