MONARCH BUTTERFLY TAG AND RELEASE

We are planning our annual monarch tag and release on Oct. 4 at 1 pm on the farm.  This is a great event for the family as we will hopefully have several monarchs that we have both in the flighthouse and outside available to put tags on the wings and send them off to Mexico for the winter

Male monarch

The event is free to the public but a donation is a great thing to have as well.  Kids will have the opportunity to catch wild monarchs outside if they are here for the tagging.  We will also have kids butterfly nets, milkweed plants, and seed kits for attracting monarchs for sale.
