Texas Monarch Monitoring Project Training April 14, 2011

Pre-registration required. Call 830-249-4616. Volunteers for Texas Monarch Watch, Cibolo Nature Center, and Texas Master Naturalists will present spring and fall Monarch Monitoring Workshops in collaboration with Monarch Larval Monitoring Project, Monarch Watch, and Journey North. The monarch has recently been added to the World Wildlife Fund's Top Ten Most Threatened Species list and the overwintering population this winter is the lowest ever recorded. This workshop trains teachers, youth leaders, citizen scientists, and park naturalists from throughout Texas to conduct monitoring activities at their own local sites. The training will enable participants to knowledgeably tag monarchs, monitor milkweed for monarch life stages, and collaborate with international monarch research. Training is approved credit for Texas Master Naturalists.
