Monarch tagging is the act of safely catching monarchs, placing tiny stickers with a unique number code in a specific part of their wing, and releasing them to continue on their journey south. In the winter, our counterparts in Mexico look for monarchs with these stickers and record the numbers. We will teach you how to safely catch, handle, tag, and release a monarch, all in the name of science and love of nature.

Attendees must be at least 10 years old to fully participant and handle butterfly nets. Younger kids (ages 5-10) can be in the prairie and run with their grown ups, but won’t be able to net the butterflies or nets. Tickets are required for all participants.
