Monarchs ranging from British Columbia to Arizona migrate primarily to the California coast, where they overwinter in wooded groves scattered from San Diego to Mendocino. The Western Monarch Count is an annual citizen-science project that collects data on the status of these monarchs during the overwintering season.

Those three weeks are starting now -- and you could join in! Roughly 100 overwintering sites are monitored each year, but we know of approximately 450 sites that monarchs are currently using or have used in the past. With your help we can monitor more sites and paint a clearer picture of the status of this vital monarch habitat.

The project will also use social media to enable volunteers to connect with each other and share count information. <br><br>In the last year, a revived energy has been brought to monarch conservation in North America -- in large part due to President Obama issuing a memorandum that directs U.S. government agencies to do what they can to protect the butterfly. Xerces has been protecting monarchs since the 1980s, placing us in a good position to help. Through the Monarch Joint Venture, Xerces is helping the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Mexican agencies revise the tri-national North American Monarch Conservation Plan. We are also assisting other federal agencies to develop monarch conservation strategies (including the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Forest Service) and collaborating with NatureServe to complete a status review of the monarch in North America. <br><br>But don't worry if you are not able to help count monarchs this fall, there are still things you can do to conserve monarchs: </span></p><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Help map milkweed.
