About the Festival
The mission of the Monarch Butterfly & Pollinator Festival is to celebrate and educate our community about the monarch butterfly, pollinators, and the ecosystems that sustain both them and us. The festival inspires children and “grown-up kids” of all ages to engage and connect with the natural world around them by immersing themselves in an educational playland that cultivates compassion and sparks change for good.
On festival day, over 30 educational partners convene at Brackenridge Park to provide hands-on, nature-based experiences for children and adults to over 3,500 attendees. This community endeavor supports the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge and the city of San Antonio as a Monarch Champion City, and is a partnership with the Brackenridge Park Conservancy.
Produced by Blooming with Birdie, an educational entertainment company that brings learning to life with curated, Montessori-Inspired experiences designed to foster curiosity and compassion, the festival is a unique place to play while learning with friends and family.

Monarch Tagging: Participate in a citizen science project in partnership with Monarch Watch to place a (harmless!) tag on a monarch butterfly wing
The Monarch Migration Obstacle Course: Become a monarch and fly the multi-generational Spring monarch migration by eating milkweed and metamorphosizing 3 times. Then, overcome obstacles like hail, hurricanes and taggers as you make your way back to Mexico for the Fall Migration

Program topic
Historic skeletal collections in the US that were assembled during the 19th and early 20th centuries have recently come to the forefront of ethics discussions in biological anthropology. Most, if not all of these collections were amassed prior to landmark guidelines such as the Nuremberg Code, or the Belmont Report in which research subjects are afforded voluntary participation, beneficence, justice, and informed consent.
Knowing that these collections do not follow today’s bioethical guidelines for research, and are contradictory to today’s theoretical paradigms, how do we view these collections and our ongoing stewardship of them? What steps do we take to mitigate the ethics within a collection if they also provide and educational component?
Within American institutions, an unknown number of human remains reside in historic skeletal collections, amounting to above-ground necropolises. Currently, there is no existing best practice industry standard for the treatment of non-Indigenous historic human remains used for teaching, research, and display within institutional collections.
By recognizing that these collections are composed of disempowered individuals who were dissected and studied without their consent and working to produce an applicable best practice policy, this research produces the first document offering tangible solutions for the museum, biological anthropology, and bioethical fields.
About our speaker
Jennifer Barron is a career museum professional who has worked within academic and institutional settings interpreting collections for over 15 years. Current and past projects include collaborating with a team of scholars, educators, and museum professionals to complete the transformation of the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas (2011-2016), collaborating on forensic casework for Operation Identification, and NAGPRA repatriation.
Education
PhD, Applied Anthropology, Texas State University, San Marcos, TX MLitt Museum and Gallery Studies, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Scotland BA Anthropology, University of Missouri- Columbia
In 2017, with the guidance of Dr. Michelle Hamilton, Barron curated the Grady Early Skeletal Pathology Collection in the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State (FACTS) which led to her doctoral research in ethics and informed consent within human remains collections. Barron received her BA in anthropology from the University of Missouri- Columbia and her Master of Literature in Museum and Gallery Studies from the University of St Andrews, Scotland. She recently completed a PhD candidate in the Applied Anthropology Program at Texas State University.

Cats Indoors: Better for Cats, Better for Birds, Better for People Presented by Grant Sizemore
Do you love your pet cat AND wild birds? Do you want to know how to keep them and the family you love safe? Then the best place for your pet is indoors. Grant Sizemore, Director of Invasive Species Programs for The American Bird Conservancy (ABC), will be with us in person to tell us how ABC’s “Cats Indoors” program provides all these safeguards and more by advocating responsible pet ownership and providing best practices. Domestic cats (Felis catus) can make wonderful pets. But cats allowed to roam outdoors can have serious consequences. Across the globe, cats have been introduced into new habitats by people with terrible results.
Outdoors, cats are a non-native and invasive species that threaten birds and other wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and spread diseases. Now numbering well over 100 million in the United States, cats kill approximately 2.4 billion birds every year in the U.S. alone, making cat predation by far the largest source of direct, human-caused mortality to birds. Cats maintained indoors or under an owner’s direct control have less exposure to disease, predators, injury, and loss. This, in turn, protects your family from experiencing disease and the grief of having a treasured pet sick, killed, or lost. We invite you to join a growing network of diverse stakeholders, such as animal shelters, veterinarians, wildlife rehabilitators, and conservation biologists, as we build a future that is better for cats, better for birds, and better for people.
About Grant Sizemore Originally from Ohio, Grant grew up fascinated by nature and enjoying the outdoors. He earned degrees in Zoology and Environmental Science from Miami University and an MS in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida. Prior to joining ABC, Grant has worked toward wildlife conservation through policy, outreach, education, and years of wildlife research. Outside of work, Grant enjoys hiking, birding, fishing, and taking care of his (indoor) cat.
