An interest in insects and a passion for helping others led 12-year-old Abbie Krevolin, of Bensalem, to embark on a project that transformed from raising endangered species at her house to creating a full-scale butterfly garden in her town.
At 6 years old, Abbie learned that the monarch butterfly was at risk of becoming extinct, so she quickly took action. She began raising, tagging and releasing captive-reared wild monarch butterflies. Then, in 2017, Abbie launched Mission: Monarch with the intention of someday registering it as a nonprofit organization to help spread the word about monarchs and the ways people can help.
A few short years later, Abbie is in the final stages of building a “monarch waystation” and pollinator garden in Bensalem.
