TBG Presents Monarch Butterflies: You can be a Citizen Scientist

Everyone is a Citizen Scientist. Which skills do you have to offer? Monarch butterflies are essential in contributing to the health of our planet, but climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use are threatening our important friend. Citizen Scientists have a tremendously important role in advancing our understanding of our monarch butterflies in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We all have the skills to develop our support and knowledge about the life of monarchs whether it is in the garden, in the field, or at your desk. Join Betty McCulloch to discover what you can do to help the monarch from becoming extinct, and gain an appreciation for this small but mighty butterfly.
