If you love monarch butterflies and want to help scientists find out more about these remarkable insects, here’s your chance! Join a team of Harris Center naturalists at a local milkweed patch, where we’ll count monarch eggs, caterpillars, and butterflies. If you enjoy treasure hunts and have a sharp eye, this morning of community science is for you.

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an interested family member. All others can attend without parental supervision.

4 to 5 p.m. in Peterborough. Exact meeting location will be provided prior to the event. Space is limited, and registration is required.
