💡CE: Learn To Tag Monarch Butterflies

September 4 @ 6:30 pm8:00 pm

Learn to tag Monarch butterflies to help track their migration! The Monarch Watch Tagging Program is a community science initiative started in 1992 that reveals important information about Monarchs, like where they are migrating from, timing and pace, mortality, and geographic distribution. Learn how to apply the identifying stickers on butterflies through a live demonstration and where you can order your Monarch tagging kit for this fall’s migration season. Anyone can do it!

Join Kristen Baum, Director of Monarch Watch and Senior Scientist of the Kansas Biological Survey & Center for Ecological Research for this high-flying event! We will also cover what you can do to promote butterfly habitats and the importance of their migration corridors.
