Be the Super Generation That Saves the Monarch Butterfly

From West Cook Wild Ones:

Please join West Cook Wild Ones for a webinar to celebrate The Year of the Butterfly in Oak Park and River Forest.

“Be the Super Generation That Saves the Monarch Butterfly”

You may have heard that the monarch butterfly faces steep population decline, but there is hope and we can help!

Speaker Terri Treacy of the Illinois Monarch Project will teach us about the monarch’s unique lifecycle, migration patterns, and increasing survival threats. In particular, she will discuss the problem of loss of habitat and The Illinois Monarch Project’s plan of action for individuals, organizations and local governments to protect the monarch by planting milkweed and other native plants.

Please register to attend and you will receive a Zoom link 2 days before the presentation:

Monarch Community Science Training in Spanish

From the Field Museum of Natural History:

Come learn how to monitor monarch caterpillars at your site. This training will cover everything you need to know to become an active Monarch Community Scientist and contribute data to protecting this iconic species. Digital trainings are ideal for those already familiar with milkweed identification and for returning monitors wanting to brush up on their skills.

This project supports the declining monarch butterfly population by improving our knowledge of residential milkweed in the Chicago Region and the habitat it offers to caterpillars throughout their life stages. In 2019, the pilot year, 73 amazing volunteers monitored 130 patches and found 5109 eggs and 104 fifth-instar caterpillars.

This training will take place online via a Zoom webinar. A link will be sent to all registrants one day before the class.

Translation to Spanish:

Sea parte de un proyecto de ciencia nueva para demostrar cómo SUS plantas de algodoncillo están ayudando conservar a las mariposas monarcas. Si tienes pIantas de algodoncillo ya creciendo, o si quiere plantarlas, favor de considerar ayudándonos medir el papel de esas plantas en la conservación de las monarcas. Este proyecto de la ciencia comunitaria es desarrollado para ser accesible a todos, especialmente las familias y las personas nuevas a la ciencia comunitaria.

Cuando ya es hora de accesar la sesión, favor de utilizar la enlace de Zoom aquí proporcionada. Favor de (llegar) a tiempo porque es posible será una demora corta en juntar la sesión si llegue tarde.
