SUMMARY:Counting on Monarchs: An Introduction to the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project
DESCRIPTION:Does your heart fill with wonder when a monarch flutters by? Are you concerned about the decline of these beloved butterflies? If so\, join monarch researcher Dr. Karen Oberhauser for an introduction to the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project (MLMP)\, a community science initiative aimed at understanding and protecting this iconic insect throughout North America. We’ll review monarch biology\, explore how MLMP data are being used to support monarch population recovery\, and learn what’s involved in setting up a monitoring site of your own. Afterwards\, join Harris Center ecologists for hands-on practice during our local MLMP survey days on July 23\, August 21\, and September 3! \n5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. To get the login details\, register here.
