KEYNOTE SPEAKER | CARLOTTA JAMES
Carlotta James will share the story of the Monarch Ultra, a 4,300 km ultra marathon from Peterborough to central Mexico that took over seven weeks to complete in the fall of 2019. The relay team followed the migratory journey of the endangered Monarch butterfly as a way to raise awareness of the plight of Monarchs and to inspire communities into conservation action.
