"I remember when, as a second grader, I had the thrill of observing first-hand in our classroom the life-cycle of the monarch butterfly. How wondrous to wait for its emergence from its cocoon. This was the scene in my mind that I flashed back to when I met Gary, and he introduced me to his beautiful monarch habitat park. It is a magical place.

Gary’s knowledge is impressive, his enthusiasm is contagious, and his dedication is a safeguard for these beautiful creatures. I recommend Gary’s creative project design and construction to anyone interested or in need."

"Gary has turned our backyards into a place of peace and relaxation during a time of stress and uncertainty.

From the beginning concept that included his detailed drawings to the list of items needed to completed the project Gary rose above!

His skill as a visionary with design and his craftsmanship with physically putting the idea Into action was remarkable 

His attention to detail and his curiosity as to what we wanted and had envisioned was only surpassed in his final product.

We look forward to our next backup projects whatever that shall be... perhaps Gary will help us discover what might be next!!!"

"This summer I found myself in a grime situation: I was raising monarch butterflies and ran out of food while having about 30 really hungry caterpillars. How did it happen? The reason is the lack of expertise. I planted milkweed on the edge of 6×12 ft bed of zinnias and cosmos. This bed became an amazing ecosystem: spiders, praying mantises, assassin bugs, frogs...  Sadly, these neighbors were deadly for monarch caterpillars. Also, zinnia and cosmos plants shaded milkweed. Finally, I was left with a few milkweed plants and many monarch eggs and caterpillars which I brought to the cages. 

This is when I ran out of food and was literally saved by Gary. 

I contacted him and he helped me to find reliable sources of milkweed, taught me to feed caterpillars in a most efficient way, gave me advice about spacing the plants, helped to handle disease outbreak. Thanks to his professional advice I have already released 30 healthy butterflies. 

I can absolutely recommend Gary to anyone who is looking for reliable, knowledgeable and helpful professional.  He he is a monarch enthusiast you can trust. "

"Gary Liska is as rare of a gem as the natural assets he so passionately seeks to protect.  His unwavering dedication to the preservation of the Monarch Butterfly is just one example of what he’s known for, eclipsed only by his reputation for being one of the hardest working individuals on the planet.  Gary Liska is the kind of guy you wished you had as a neighbor, because simply put, he makes the world a more beautiful place!"
