Mentor Marsh Nature Hikes: Monarch Mania at Mentor Marsh
Monarch Mania at Mentor Marsh

Sunday, August 30

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST 

 

Join us for an exploration of monarch butterflies, including their life cycle, their natural history, and how we can help them. We’ll talk about host plants and nectar plants, and why these habitat components are critical for monarchs. Learn how these butterflies are tagged—you can even join in as we tag and release hand-raised monarchs. Then we’ll go on a hike to see if we can catch and tag some wild monarchs, too!
