Description
Join us for a hands-on field trip to explore the world of migrating monarchs! You'll learn how to safely catch and tag butterflies as part of a research initiative that tracks their incredible journey to Mexico. We'll delve into monarch natural history, ecology, conservation, and share tips for turning your own yard into a monarch-friendly habitat. This event is open to all ages (youth must be accompanied by a parent/guardian) and will entail walking on narrow trails through tallgrass prairie.
