Join us for an enchanting event at the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum as we host a monarch butterfly tagging and release. Witness the beauty of these delicate creatures up close as we contribute to vital research and conservation efforts.
We invite participants of all ages! Join butterfly enthusiast and Virginia Master Naturalist Gail Napora for our Monarch Tagging and Release. Gail will journey with you through the life cycle of the butterfly with images, trace the route of migration from all points north to Mexico, then share the details of tagging as attendees help hold the butterflies and then release them.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of an inspiring moment in nature!
Meet on the Ernst Tree Terrace beside the Frances Plecker Education Center.
Please call 540.568.3194 or email Katie Rankin at rankinkt@jmu.edu with any questions or concerns
