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. Please save the confirmation email you receive from Zoom to access at the time of the event. Closed captioning will be available. For more information\, contact Brett Amy Thelen. \nNote: This event will be recorded. To ensure access to the recording\, please register for this event\, even if you cannot attend live. We will follow up with all registered participants when the recording is ready to view. \nCo-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education and the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project. \nCommunity scientists with the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project help track monarch populations by counting monarch eggs\, caterpillars\, and butterflies in milkweed patches across North America.

SUMMARY:Butterflies Without Borders: Tracking the Monarch Migration
DESCRIPTION:Monarchs are one of the most iconic insects in North America — and the only North American butterfly that undertakes a long-distance\, multi-generational migration. Unfortunately\, this formerly abundant species has experienced dramatic population declines since the 1990s. To better understand and protect these beloved butterflies\, biologists are now tracking monarch migration routes with the use of tiny radio transmitters. Join NH Audubon biologist Lindsay Herlihy to explore some of the cutting-edge technologies used to track monarch movements\, and to discuss the data NH Audubon biologists are gathering. She’ll also share ways you can help support monarch conservation and research right here in the Granite State.​ \n7 to 8:15 p.m. via Zoom. To get the login details\, register here. Please save the confirmation email you receive from Zoom to access at the time of the event. Closed captioning will be available. For more information\, contact Brett Amy Thelen. \nNote: This event will be recorded. To ensure access to the recording\, please register for this event\, even if you cannot attend live. NH Audubon will follow up with all registered participants when the recording is ready to view. \nCo-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education and NH Audubon. \nMonarchs are the only North American butterfly species that migrates 3\,000 miles from Canada and the northern United States to Mexico — and back again — over the course of several generations. Researchers with the Motus Wildlife Tracking Network are now uncovering never-before-seen details of these epic migrations. (photo © Lindsay Herlihy)

SUMMARY:Managing Fields for Grassland Birds
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that grassland birds\, including bobolinks and meadowlarks\, are declining faster than any other group of birds in the Northeast? Join Kate McKay\, avian technician with the Windham County Conservation District\, to learn more about our grassland bird species — and about management strategies that can help protect them on your property. Kate will also share information about the Connecticut River Valley Grassland Bird Project\, which offers free site visits\, management tips\, and financial compensation to participating farmers and land managers in southeastern Vermont and southwestern New Hampshire. Expanding beyond the Harris Center’s own kestrel nest box project\, this regional initiative seeks to boost the nesting success of other grassland birds in the region through collaboration with farmers and hayfield owners. \n7 to 8 p.m. via Zoom.
