Monarch butterfly tag & release, seed collecting & SEAd Bomb making for coastal habitat restoration.

Back to the Bays Stewardship Session! Join us for an evening in the garden by the bay. We will be tagging and releasing monarch butterflies, seed collecting, and SEAd bomb making for coastal habitat restoration. We are tagging the butterflies as part of Monarch Watch's citizen science data collection and restoration efforts.

Monarch Watch Vision Statement: In recognition of the rapid loss of habitats and resources needed by monarch butterflies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, it is clear that the preservation of the monarch migration will require stewardship by the governments and private citizens of all three countries. We all must work together to create, conserve, and protect monarch habitats. Sustaining monarch habitats will have the effect of protecting vital pollinators and other wildlife.
