Monarch Tagging & Monitoring

Terrace Room

M $16; NM $20

Kaitlin Bacon, Director of Education

Register by September 15

As we approach peak migration time for the Monarch butterfly, we can become a part of their journey and the science it takes to monitor it through tagging. We will spend the first half of class indoors talking about the monarch journey, how we support these beautiful creatures along the way, and why tagging and supporting these monarchs on the final leg of their journey is so important. The second half will be devoted to tracking down these flighty creatures and tagging them, logging them, and submitting them through Monarch Watch.
