Additional Information: Instructed by:
The monarch butterfly is one of North America’s most iconic and recognizable insects. Join us to learn about the monarch life cycle, migration, habitat needs, and the challenges facing this remarkable species. Participants will discover simple ways to help conserve monarchs and other important pollinators in their own backyards. Following a classroom presentation, we will head outdoors to explore monarch habitat and survey milkweed for monarch eggs and caterpillars. Participants will gain hands-on experience with monarch larvae monitoring techniques used in many citizen science and conservation efforts. Make sure to bring a water bottle and dress for the weather. Austin Lambert
