Plum Island Monarch Butterfly Field Day

Science and adventure on Plum Island! Departing from Gills Rock aboard our charter boat, you’ll learn fun facts about the Monarch butterfly, their migration and the role this part of the country plays in it as well as what we can do to protect these fragile creatures. Upon your arrival on Plum Island, you will get a chance to net the butterflies, apply a monitoring tag them, and trace their migration south to aid scientists in studying their population and migration patterns.
