Van Burnette tags a monarch butterfly |
Hops, as always, seemed to demand the most attention for the Farm Tour. We also seemed to raise awareness for the importance of creating and maintaining native bee pollinator habitats and with our native blueberry study. We also tagged a couple of monarch butterflies that were passing through.
The major tagging event for the monarch butterflies was reserved for the next weekend, Sept. 29 and our last official tour of the season. Around 60 people showed up for this free event. Folks started gathering early and so did the clouds.
The rain started during the release |
All in all it was a good year, but we hope next year will be even better and hope to sponsor many fun events and have great Saturday tours with lots of folks. The last shot seems to be a good ending for this blog. You can just make out a monarch flying south after being tagged, saying goodbye to the farm.
