Field Day – Monarch Butterfly Tagging

Would you like to be a Citizen Scientist? Or take a cruise across Death’s Door to an island wildlife refuge and learn about Monarch butterflies? Or participate in a fun family-friendly activity? You will 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. Your experience includes netting butterflies, applying a monitoring tag them, and tracing their migration south to aid scientists in studying their population and migration patterns. *Learn more about monarchs, their migration, and the tagging and tracking process at Monarch Watch*
