Monarch Watch Tagging Event

MONARCH WATCH TAGGING EVENT
Saturday, 21 September 2024
8:00am-12:00pm
Baker Wetlands Discovery Center, Lawrence, KS

Once again, Monarch Watch, the Lawrence Bird Alliance (formerly known as the Jayhawk Audubon Society), and the Baker Wetlands Discovery Center are sponsoring Monarch butterfly tagging for the public. There is no charge to participants and no experience is necessary - so bring yourself, your kids (all ages), your friends, and your neighbors!

If you have a net, bring that too, though we will provide tags, nets, and instructions on how to net and tag monarchs. The monarchs are usually roosting or clustering (sometimes in spectacular concentrations!) until around 8:30AM. As it warms up, they begin foraging on the flowers.

IMPORTANT: This year's tagging event will again be held at the Baker Wetlands Discovery Center - 1365 N. 1250 Rd. Lawrence, KS 66046. Please see the map and directions below.
