Join the Xerces Society, the Southwest Monarch Study, and Mountain Studies Institute for a workshop to learn more about western monarchs, milkweed, and how you can get involved in current conservation efforts.

The workshop will be broken into two sessions: an evening classroom session at Fort Lewis College followed by a morning field session along the Animas River. During the field session, we will search milkweeds for adult and immature monarchs, practice tagging and data collection, and tie in lessons learned from the classroom.
