 - We've come back to
 the Butterfly Garden
 here at Tonawanda Elementary
 School in Elm Grove,
 and this is a way station for
 migrating monarch butterflies.
To kick off this week's
show, Jeff Kelm talks
with Judy Kesser
(murmuring)
 about her efforts to help
the dwindling
population of monarchs.
 And then I'll take you kayak
 fishing on the Pine River.
 And finally, we'll attend
 the grand opening
 (rustling)
 of Cheboygan's new skate park.
 I'm Dan Small, and
 it's time once again
 for Outdoor Wisconsin.

 - There's not much
 activity this time of year
in the Butterfly Garden here
at Tonawanda Elementary School.
 But the milkweed here attracts
 butterflies in summer,
 and this garden is registered
 on the International
 Monarch Waystation Program.
 Jeff Kelm visited Judy
 Kesser to see how she raises
 and tags several
 hundred monarchs each
 year in her garden,
and to learn about the
problems monarchs face.
 - I retired from teaching
 elementary school in '98.
 And about 2000, I
 started incorporating
 native plants into my yard.
 (bugs buzzing)
 I had joined the Wild Ones,
which is a native plant
group that's dedicated
 to educating people about
 natural landscaping.
 And so I started small
 in the front yard
 with a few gardens
 and a few plants.
 And gradually, that
 grew every year,
until, 18 years later,
you see what I have now.
Because of all the native plants
 that I've put in here,
 milkweed was one of them.
 So, once you plant
 milkweed, the monarchs come.
 And on the milkweed plant,
 I've found the eggs.
And a friend of mine
who's in Wild Ones said
 "Why don't you raise some
 monarch butterflies?"
 And I replied "I know
 nothing about that."
 But I got on the internet
 and learned about it,
 and the first year, back in
 2005, I raised 50 butterflies.
 And I thought that
 was just marvelous.
 And every year since
 then, I have raised them.
 In 2006, I started
 tagging them through
 the Monarch Watch Program out
 of the University of Kansas.
 And the most I raised
 was about 650 a year.
 And generally, it's, you know,
 between 200 and 400
 over the summer,
 depending on how many
 I'm able to find.
 The challenges
 that they have here
 are mostly lack of
 habitat in the U.S.
 We lose 6,000 acres
 a day to development.
 We lose...
 Their habitat is just gone.
 And when you think of where
 they used to have milkweed,
 out in farm fields, there's
 very little left anymore.
 Because of the
 genetically modified corn
 and soybean seeds, farmers
 can raise their crop
 and spray it with Roundup.
And it doesn't damage the corn,
but it kills everything
else in their field.
So the milkweed is gone.
 So the thing that
 will help the monarchs
 is replanting milkweed
 in other areas.
 Could be small plots,
 like mine in my yard,
 or, you know,
 schools, and parks,
 and churches, and whatnot
 will have small gardens.
 But the latest push is to have
 a more uninterrupted corridor,
 and they have targeted states
 along the flyway pattern, I35.
 It goes through the country,
 from Texas up to Minnesota.
 And they are using that
 area to replant milkweed.
 - So Judy, when we
 talk about milkweed,
 it's a very specific plant.
 And it's relatively
 easy to identify,
 but it's not everywhere
 in the state of Wisconsin.
 Why don't you kinda show us
 what milkweed looks like,
 for folks that wanna go ahead
 and start looking for
 these butterflies,
 or folks that wanna
 plant something.
 I know you've got some stands
 here in your front yard
 that looks like you just
 bypassed with the lawnmower.
 That's probably the
 best bet, right?
- Right.
The milkweed grows
where it wants to grow,
 and sometimes it moves away
 from where you planted it.
 But the milkweed plant, this
 is called common milkweed.
 There are a lot of
 different varieties,
 but this is the one that most
 people are familiar with.
 It has the wide oval leaves,
 and in the fall it
 gets the seed pods.
 In fall, these will turn
 brown, and then they'll ripen,
 and then the seeds are inside.
 And there is silk
 attached to them,
 kinda like a
 dandelion plant has.
- Like dandelions, sure.
 - So they will fly everywhere.
 But it's the only
 plant that monarchs
 will lay their eggs on,
 because that's the only one
 the caterpillars will eat.
 They're very
 specialized insects.
 And sometimes it can
 be to their detriment,
'cause that's the only
place they can survive.
 So without milkweed,
 there are no monarchs.
- Alright Judy, so we've
got all the steps here
 of your caterpillars
 and the butterflies.
 But this here,
 you've got some eggs
 actually sitting here on these
 little chunks of milkweed.
 This is how you do it, you
 kinda cut just that off
 instead of having to
 take the whole leaf?
- [Judy] Right, and
those I took yesterday.
 So that'll be a couple
 days before they're born.
 And I had a few
 from the day before.
 Now, I don't know if your
 camera will pick it up,
 but there are.
 - [Jeff] Oh, wow.
 - [Judy] Little tiny ones.
 One, two three
 four, five.
 - [Jeff] The fifth, yeah.
- [Judy] There.
 They're very tiny.
 They're like one day
 and two days old.
 - And so they'll hatch
 and immediately start
 eating the milkweed.
- Right.
As soon as they hatch,
they eat their eggshell.
- Okay.
- Their little eggshell,
 and then they
 attack the milkweed.
And that's all they do
for the next two weeks,
they will eat and grow.
 Now, these are the, like,
 second and third in stars.
 They're a little bit bigger.
 These are maybe a week old.
 And they're not fussy.
 They will share a
 leaf with each other.
 (humming)
 And they just move
 from leaf to leaf.
So I just keep supplying
them with new leaves.
 I keep
 a supply of leaves.
 And I wash the leaves, put 'em
 in the fridge,
 (rustling)
 and they will keep
 for a couple weeks.
 - [Jeff] Okay.
- So I just keep giving
them fresh leaves.
 And these are the bigger guys.
 These, now, it's
 cool this morning,
 so these have not
 transferred to a leaf yet.
But as soon as it warms
up, they'll be movin'
 and gettin' to a new place.
- And so these,
 how long does this
 process usually take
 to get to this point?
 'Cause these have
 to be just days away
from deciding I'm gonna
go climb up somethin'
 and make a chrysalis, yeah.
 - Right, make my chrysalis.
 Right, yeah.
Three or four days on
hatching out of the egg,
 two weeks, about, for the
 caterpillars to get full size,
and it's all weather dependent.
 Cool weather slows 'em down,
 warm weather speeds 'em up.
 - Gotcha.
 - So, I mean, we've had some
 very hot days this summer,
 and they just,
 (humming)
 they grow like gangbusters.
 (humming)
 Eat, sleep, and poop,
 that's all they do.
 - (laughing) That's
 what they do.
 - Alotta cleaning.
- What a life, yeah, yeah, yeah!
 - [Judy] Yeah, alotta
 cleaning going on.
After about two weeks, then the
caterpillars are full grown.
And they climb up to
the top of the aquarium,
 and they go to the screen.
 And they will lay flay
 for about 24 hours,
 and then they hang
 down into a J.
 And within 24 hours, then they
 begin making their chrysalis.
 And what they're
 doing is shedding
that striped skin one last time.
And underneath is the
green, that green body.
And it takes about several hours
 for that to get hard and dry.
 And then they will stay
 there for about two weeks,
 inside the chrysalis, and they
 gradually undergo a change
 from caterpillar to butterfly.
 (zipping)
 I keep track of them.
 As soon as they have eclosed,
 eclosed means they,
 the butterfly is born.
 And as soon as they
 eclose, then I put 'em
in these net containers.
 And I keep track of
 how many males and
 how many females.
And just this past week,
 I passed the 200
 mark for this summer.
 And this one is a female.
 - [Jeff] How can you tell?
 - Okay, I look at
 the hind wings,
 and there are no black spots.
 I'll show you a
 male, and you'll see,
 immediately, the difference.
 If you look at the
 hind wings, you see--
 - [Jeff] Oh, you see the
 black spots there. (humming)
 - [Judy] Yeah, the
 two black spots.
 And that indicates female.
Pardon me, male.
 And the veins on the male
 are generally narrower.
 (humming)
 Hers are thicker and
 wider, so she looks darker.
 - Yeah, so that's the
 next process, right?
So you hatch these out.
And then, because you
work with Monarch Watch,
you're actually putting
a tag, an identifier,
 on this particular butterfly.
 - Correct.
 - What type of information do
 you record along with that?
 - [Judy] This is the data
 sheet that I send in.
 And I will have the
 monarch's tag number,
 which I'll get off of here,
 and then what date
 I released him,
 male or female, whether
 he was reared, which I do,
or captured in the wild,
(humming)
 and then where
 he's released from,
 what city.
 - Okay.
 - Okay, I'm gonna
 ask you to hold him
 for just a second.
 - Okay.
 How gentle do I have to be?
 - Oh, you can just
 normal pressure.
- Okay.
- I just have to
get the tag off.
 Okay, so I use a toothpick
 because you don't wanna use,
 put any prints or
 anything on the adhesives.
 - [Jeff] On the sticker, okay.
- Yeah, on the sticker.
239
00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:55,022
Come on.
 Okay.
 - I don't think I'm his
 favorite person right now.
 - No.
 Their legs go like crazy.
 (laughing)
 And then we put the tag on
 the middle of their hind wing.
 There's this one cell
 that looks like a mitten.
 (humming)
 And then it doesn't interfere
 with their flight pattern
or, oops, get on there.
And then I just hold
it for a couple seconds
to make sure it's
tight, that it adheres.
 And then he's ready to go,
 so we can release him.
 - [Jeff] Simple
 enough, I suppose.
 (humming)
 (rustling)
- This is the fun part.
(bugs buzzing)
- [Jeff] So they've been tagged.
 - [Judy] And I
 usually take 'em out.
Come on.
 - [Jeff] They had little
 grippies on their legs, right.
 - [Judy] Yeah, they
 have little claws,
and you don't wanna rip 'em off.
 You wanna handle 'em
 gently, gingerly.
 If I can get my hand
 in between their feet,
 then they just sit on you.
 (humming)
 - [Jeff] Sure.
 - [Judy] You know.
 But now, he is ready to go.
 So I'm just gonna
 put him on a flower.
 And they like a flower that's
 big enough for them to sit on.
 (rustling)
 Yeah, we'll put him up higher.
 Come on, get up on the flower.
 There.
 (chuckling)
 Well, and they have to
 warm their wings up, too.
 They've been inside,
 so they have to--
 - [Jeff] So they'll sit in
 the sun for a little bit and--
 - [Judy] Warm their muscles
 up, and then they'll fly.
Sometimes you put 'em on the
flower, and they're gone, yeah.
 - Very cool, and you've
 got dozens upon dozens more
 to go,
 (humming)
 and this is really
 a neat opportunity
 for anybody that
 wants to do somethin'.
 This is pretty
 simple way to be able
 to help out around your house,
 no matter where you are.
Oh, there we go.
 Off they go.
 - Somebody went, yeah.
- Couple of 'em.
 - [Judy] Couple, yeah.
 It is.
 Anybody can get
 involved and do it.
 And it's very
 rewarding, you know.
 You feel like you're doing
 something for environment.
 We can't solve a lot of the
 world problems ourselves.
But we can do something
for our environment
 in our little world,
 and this is what I do.
- Multiply Judy's efforts times
the thousands of volunteers
doing the same thing all across
the country and you can see
 how people working together
 can make a difference.
 Another environmental project
 has improved the water quality
 here on Underwood Creek.
 And last fall, for
 the first time,
 salmon found their
 way up to Elm Grove
during the fall spawning season.
 You could probably
 float a kayak here,
 but last spring, I spent a
 day with a group of kayakers
 fishing on the Pine
 River in Richland County.
 (upbeat guitar music)
 (chirping)
 (murmuring)
 - One thing that is
 great about this river
 is with any waterway,
 there's dangers to it.
 But this is a
 pretty slow-flowing,
easygoing river, so it's
a really great place
for somebody to come and start.
 It's the type of river
 where an extremely
 experienced paddler
 isn't gonna be challenged
 by it that much.
 But they're gonna be pulled in
 by the natural
 beauty aspect of it.
The river is very windy.
 The scenery changes
 around every bend.
 So if it's not
 something that's going
to really test your skill level,
 it's something
 (chirping)
 that you can enjoy, you know,
 just the basic atmosphere
 The rocks are definitely the
 main allure to the river.
People really enjoy the
natural beauty of that.
 (splashing)
It's the type of place
where you go out there,
 you can't help but
 see a lot of wildlife.
 (splashing)
 This is a great river
 to paddle and such,
 but it's also a beautiful
 river for trout fishing.
- The Pine River is kinda unique
 because it's one
 of the few rivers
 that doesn't have a dam on it.
 It does not have a dam all the
 way to the Wisconsin River,
and the Wisconsin River
does not have a dam
 all the way to the
 Mississippi River.
 So the Pine River can have
 many different species.
It could have anything
from gars to sheepshead,
 rock bass to walleyes, trout.
 It varies from site to site.
 (chirping)
 We normally target trout,
 with some walleye
 and smallmouth.
 We have mainly
 wild strain trout.
 We have wild fish.
 (murmuring)
 We have very little
 domesticated fish.
 So these fish
 don't grow as fast,
 but they're a lot
 better tasting,
they have a lot more
fight, and they're just,
 the overall health
 of 'em is better.
 (splashing)
 Like most rivers in
 the area around here,
 most of the fish are
 in 10% of the water.
 So the key is to be
 able to find that 10%
 where most of the
 fish live and feed,
 and that may be around
 wood peepholes, some rocks.
You need to find
rocky stretches,
 because that gives
 you insect life.
Insect life gives you bug life,
 and that feeds the bait fish,
 which feeds the predator fish.
 And the predator fish
 are what we're looking
 for, mainly trout.
 That's primarily what
 you're lookin' for.
 You're lookin' for
 somethin' different than,
some type of structure.
(murmuring)
 Today we had a unique
 opportunity on the Pine River.
 The Pine River has dropped
 four feet in the last week.
 And a lot of food
 falls into the stream,
 mainly earthworms
 and stuff like that.
So it's great for the game fish,
 'cause they get a fresh meal.
 Not so good for the fishermen.
 Today, well, also, there
 was not a cloud in the sky.
 That is not good for trout.
 Trout cannot wear
 sunglasses like you and I.
 Trout, they hide.
That's their whole key.
 They might be the
 biggest predator.
 And in a lot of the
 streams around here,
trout are the biggest predator.
 They're top of the food chain.
 Not so much in the Pine River,
because you have pike and other
species that will eat them.
 So they wanna stay hidden.
 Some of the guys were
 usin' inline spinner.
 Some were using crank baits.
 (murmuring)
 Some were using jig
 heads with twister tails.
 (chuckling)
 I tried salmon
 eggs, Gulp! Minnow.
 And there was some
 fish that were on,
 but there was some
 long-distance release.
 It was tough fishin' today.
 And that happens,
 (upbeat guitar music)
 that happens.
 The fishing was good, the
 catching was a little slow.
 (laughing)
 - It took years of planning
 to develop the hiking paths
 and other facilities here
 in Elm Grove's Village Park,
and the City of
Sheboygan recently
developed a new facility
 in Kiwanis Park, a state
 of the art skateboard park.
 Tracy Newman and
 our crew were there
 for the park's grand opening.
(spacey energetic music)
(rustling)
 (murmuring)
 (metallic thumping)
 - In the year 2020, action
 sports is in the Olympics.
 Skateboarding and BMX is
 a real-life Olympic sport,
which means we're here to stay,
which means you're never
gonna get rid of this.
 You cannot eradicate
 action sports.
So if you don't give
them a place to happen,
they're gonna run wild!
They're gonna be in the streets.
 That same handrail and
 quarter pipe is the same thing
in front of that bank or
in front of that church,
 and you're not gonna stop
 people from doing it.
 This is an expression of life.
 This is art.
 This is what we do.
 You can't stop
 real, true passion.
And you can either
support it, and mold it,
 and encourage it, and
 watch people flourish,
or you know the other end of it.
- Ready, guys?!
 - Countdown, ready?
- Five!
- [Group] Four, three, two, one!
 - Go!
 (rustling)
 (clapping)
 (cheering)
 - Today we are celebrating
 the grand opening
 for the skate park.
 It actually opened
 up Thanksgiving
 weekend of last fall,
 but this is just,
 you know, our way
and the City's way of
being able to celebrate,
 kinda have the ribbon cutting,
 and be able to kinda
 showcase the hard work
 that went into this and
 just the awesome progress
that City of Sheboygan's making
 to better the standard
 of life here in town.
 (scraping)
 (whooping)
 Since 2001, we had a skate
 park here in Sheboygan.
 And I mean, it's
 just over the years,
 it was built out of metal
 ramps and wood foundations.
And as you can imagine,
with Wisconsin winters,
 the decay was really bad.
 It just had become
 kind of a liability.
And Public Works really noticed
 and caught on there that
 there was a need and a desire.
 And even with the
 condition of it,
 there was people
 still usin' the park.
And they didn't want to
be able to take it away
 without giving an alternative.
 - We made kind of our
 mission to open a new park,
 a better park, as
 fast as possible.
 We looked at three
 different locations.
 And the old one was
 here, in this park,
 not in this location.
 But from the three
 that we picked,
 it did come back to
 the Kiwanis Park.
 The landscaping just
 kinda fit what we had,
 and the bowl fit
 right into the hill.
 So it was just a
 perfect place for it.
 We already had a
 little parking lot.
 We have a beautiful river,
 the Sheboygan River.
 - This skate park's
 awesome because, obviously,
 it's concrete, and
 concrete is forever.
 The elements can't get to it.
So we're pumped.
 I mean, having skate
 parks around all the time
 and beautiful lights
 all over the park,
like, this is what you dream of.
 (rattling)
 - [Micah] When this park first
 got built, I was like wow,
 these transitions are bigger,
 these ramps are bigger,
 you know, they're steeper,
 these rails are bigger.
And at first I was like
man, who's gonna be able
 to skate these
 things. (laughing)
 You know, especially
 kids who went
 from having a very
 small-gauge skate park
to having something of
this size and magnitude.
 But the coolest thing is
 that it's pushed progression.
 And I mean even,
 like, take for example
 our ledge over here, right.
 It's probably six to
 eight inches bigger
than our past one was
at the other skate park.
 And at first, people
 were intimidated,
like who's gonna be able
to skate this anyways.
 But because that's what it is
 and now this is
 where kids are going,
 everybody had to skate it.
 (scraping)
 Like, it's made people
 that much better.
It's forced them
to alley higher.
 It's forced them to skate
 faster to do things.
And, like, that's cool,
you know what I mean!
They coulda built
somethin' really small,
and it would've kind of
harbored the ability for growth,
 but they really did
 a good job with it.
 I love it.
 You know, it has all the
 things that I like to skate.
 But every person
 who uses the park,
you know, bike, scooter, BMXers,
all are gonna have their opinion
 on what their
 favorite things are.
 - [Andrew] We really
 like quarter pipes.
 We really like stuff to grind
 (rattling)
 and get our pegs on,
 and this skate park
 is definitely all the
 elements included.
 (energetic rock music)
 (squeaking)
 (murmuring)
 - Well, though, we're
 pretty much out here
 four or five days
 a week every week.
 He's obsessed with
 skate boarding.
 Scootering a little bit,
 but mostly skate boarding.
 So pretty much he's
 the one that pushes us
 to bring him out here often.
I think, you know, he
obviously aspires to be,
 like, a professional
 skate boarder.
 So he's gettin', for
 only bein' seven,
 he's gettin' pretty
 serious about it.
 He's fearless.
 (rustling)
 - He's a scaredy cat.
 - (chuckling) Thanks.
 - You wouldn't believe it,
but the less you think,
the easier it is.
 This is such a sport to get
 away from everything else.
Like, when you're concentrating
on riding a bicycle,
you're scaring yourself,
 which means your
 total concentration
 is within yourself,
 and the less you think about
 it, the easier things go.
So it's actually
(murmuring)
 the most peaceful,
 the most rewarding.
 (yelling)
 When you're in the air, like,
 you're not stressed out.
That's how you get hurt,
is when you tense up.
You gotta stay
relaxed, so it's almost
a calming thing when
you're doing this stuff.
 - [Aaron] I think part of
 this sport is improvising,
kinda seein' how things go,
and seein' how the run's goin',
 and hittin' a different line.
 So I think a lot of
 it's instinctual;
 it doesn't require
 a lot of thinking.
 I think that's why a lot of
 kids and adults enjoy it.
 There's a lot of comradery,
 everyone's cheerin'
 each other on
 to push each other do more,
 a bigger trick, more
 difficult trick.
 - I've gone to so
 many open gyms.
I've gone to so many, you know,
 sporting events,
 football, and, like,
 everybody is so competitive
 and shut people down
 that are trying to progress.
 And just it's this
 competitive nature
where, like,
(energetic dance music)
 I'm sorry, but the
 action sports, they're
 just not that way!
 People encourage one another
 because there's no benefit
to someone else not doing well.
 You know, a lot of
 times, the people
 who don't fit into the
 mold of anything else
 find refuge in
 the action sports,
 because they're not
 reliant on anyone else
 and it's something that
 they can do on their own.
 (thumping)
 (whooping)
 - [Andrew] Skate boarders,
 scooters, roller bladers,
 everybody should have
 safety equipment.
Preventative maintenance
is what we preach.
'Cause you're gonna go down,
but we want you to get back up.
 (rustling)
 - [Micah] I say that there's
 danger in every sport.
 It's something that happens.
But, you know, in
anything, there's risk.
 And the biggest thing
 I can tell people,
 especially kids and
 parents, regulate your kids.
 Make sure they're staying
 within their means
 of what they can do,
 and also pad them up!
 Put helmets on 'em!
 Put, you know,
 (chuckling) elbow pads
 and knee pads on them!
Start 'em young.
 - We got the pads.
 I think it's just he
 can skate board more,
and do more, and
not be as afraid
 if he's padded up.
 (murmuring)
 I won't compromise
 with the helmet.
 Head injuries are
 just too severe.
 - We say "You pay to play,"
 is sort of the way it goes.
 Action sports athletes have
 the highest pain tolerance
 of any athlete on
 the planet Earth.
 There's no two ways about it.
 There's something addicting
 to what we do here.
 And you do crash, you do fall,
 but it's that lesson
 of getting back up.
 There's no coaches,
 or color schemes,
 or someone to get you back up.
 This is self-perseverance.
This is you against you.
 And there's something
 in that lesson
 of when you fall,
 you get back up,
 that is more rewarding
 and more of a life lesson
 than anything you'll ever
 do in a color scheme,
 or a coach, or in
 a sports venue.
 And that's a life lesson, and
 that's gonna go a lot longer
with you than someone
telling you how to live.
 - It's more fun when you,
 if you do a new trick
 and it's your first time,
you like, you're happy in that.
 - The biggest thing
 in skate boarding,
 and BMXing, and
 in roller blading,
 and scootering, is
 self-progression.
 So every single person out
 here is at a different level,
 and they're working
 on a different thing.
 And I tell people all the
 time "If you are someone
"who wants to be good
at something right away
 "or if you're someone
 who wants to go out
 "and look like a rock
 star all the time,
 "these aren't the
 sports for you."
 Because 95% of this sport
 is trying and failing.
 It's only that small 5%
 of when you land something
 that keeps you going, and
 that's what's so cool.
 I mean, that's life, right?
 (yelling)
It's goal setting, it's
accomplishing things,
 and it's pushing you
 (whooping)
 to better yourself and
 work harder at something.
 (scraping)
 (rustling)
 - [Man] Wow!

Well, next time,
