Description

Please call if you'd like to register for this program, or email Hannah@discoverycenter.net. 

Did you know that we have been ‘tagging’ monarchs for years at the Center?  Putting tiny stickers on the late summer migrating generation provides incredible citizen science data about their population and migration habits.  Join Naturalist Hannah for this fun hybrid program.  Prior to this in-person tagging and garden exploration program, Hannah will email you a link to a virtual program where she describes the incredible life cycle, adaptations, migration and more of the amazing monarch butterfly.  For this in-person portion of the program, learn how to tag a monarch and assist Hannah as she tags resident monarch butterflies for release.  Fun for all ages! Our monarch tagging program is sponsored by a grant from Xcel Energy.

 

Saturday, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.  Registration required by 8/15/24.  $10/Non-Member and Members are free.  Participants will meet at the Teal Cabin at the Discovery Center.
