This workshop is a two-day course centering on the biology and ecology of monarch butterflies, including their physiology, life cycle, annual cycle and migration, natural threats (predators, weather), and human activities that impact their survival. [Part II of the course is on Thursday, May 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.] There is a $50 non-refundable fee to register for this course. The workshop includes an overview of pollinators and pollinator conservation. Participants will learn what the locally adapted native host plants (milkweeds) and nectar plants are in your area that also benefit many other wildlife species, including other pollinators and birds. This workshop is one of three required to receive the National Wildlife Federation’s Monarch Stewards Certification.
