Are you interested in supporting research and/or monarch populations? The Monarch Larvae Monitoring Project is a community science project that tracks monarch butterfly populations from caterpillars to butterflies within the park. Volunteers monitor once a week at Coldwater Spring to help monitor two patches of milkweed. Please note this program tends to require a weekly commitment from early June until the end of July. If you aren’t able to commit to every week, that’s okay - but please let us know in advance. No prior experience with monitoring insects is needed!
For more information or to sign up, please fill out the monarch monitoring interest form. Paula (miss_volunteer@nps.gov) can be reached with additional questions or for more information.
