Join the Underhill Conservation Commission on a 4-week journey in rearing monarchs from egg to butterfly! Learn with us why helping monarchs is interesting and important, where to find monarch eggs, and how to care for monarch caterpillars. Finally, learn how to test for disease, feed and tag monarch butterflies, and then send them off on their 2,000+ mile journey to Mexico for the winter! This 3-series workshop is geared towards adults and children 5+ with an attentive adult. Children will need assistance with this project.
