Monarch Phenomenon

TThe magnificent monarch butterfly migrates up to 2,500 miles from North America to central Mexico
for the winter. Monarch Watch Association has been tagging and monitoring migrating monarchs
since 1992. Join us at the Barkhausen Cache River Wetlands Center, for a program at 10:00 a.m. to learn natural history of monarchs, and then spend the rest of the day capturing, tagging monarchs, and releasing
butterflies. Call 618-657-2064 for more information.
