ABOUT US

Our mission. . .
provide sanctuary for the monarch butterfly

Happy Tonics is a charitable nonprofit 501(c)3 environmental and educational organization under the umbrella of the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce. Our purpose is to promote organic gardening and open pollination for biodiversity. The organization is dedicated to teaching about the risks of invasive species and genetic engineering to the food supply, and their impact on the environment, other species, indigenous and native crops, and health.

We provide educational lectures, films, and CD photo presentations on the plight of the monarch butterfly and food safety issues. We offer milkweed seed to promote the planting of native milkweed in order to provide food for the monarch. Milkweed is the host plant, and the insect is dependent upon this plant for its survival.

Volunteer opportunities: We are in need of a volunteer administrative assistant to help the executive director. Volunteer habitat gardeners are needed for summer 2008. Training begins for future environmental educators summer of 2008. To learn more contact Mary Ellen at maryellen@happytonics.org
