MonarchLIVE webcast two programs last week from Chicago and St. Paul.   If you weren’t able to watch the programs live, they are now available as streaming video.

“Little Spaces; Big Results” was webcast on May 19 from Eden Place Nature Center, a garden oasis in the middle of Chicago. Learn how small garden plots can have big results for butterflies and people. 

“Building the Population” was webcast on May 21 from Battle Creek Elementary School in St. Paul Minnesota. Learn about monarch migration, summer behavior, monarch population growth, citizen roles in monitoring the population, and threats to monarchs.

Monarch butterflies will continue growing in numbers and migrating north through the summer.  Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada is an important location for monarchs especially as a roosting location during their fall migration north to Mexico.  For more information and for a PowerPoint presentation in English and French, CLICK HERE.
