[Pollinator] MonarchLive Program

[Steven B Hilburger]

This program may be of interest to many on this list serve, particularly 
those with interests in phenology and/or education.  It plans to follow 
the migration of monarch butterflies from Mexico (Feb 2009) to Canada (May 
2009). 

>From the MonarchLive web site:

Register now to participate in the annual migration of the monarch 
butterfly (Danaus plexippus), one of the most spectacular natural 
phenomena in the world. Every year, millions of monarchs migrate thousands 
of miles from Canada and the United States to overwinter in the mountain 
peaks in states of Mexico and Michoacán in Mexico. This magical journey, 
deemed an "endangered natural phenomenon," is dependent on conservation of 
habitats in all three North American countries -- the United States, 
Canada, and Mexico. 

Join in this magical migration with MonarchLIVE and follow their journey 
throughout the 2008-09 school year. Take your class on FREE, live, 
interactive electronic field trips that follow the magical migration of 
monarchs. In February 2009, join us in Mexico where we will talk with 
scientists studying monarchs and learn about local people who are 
preserving winter habitat. 

Watch and participate in the webcasts and broadcasts that will be 
available through the year. 
Check out the lesson plans, resources, and links that will be available on 
this site beginning September 1. 
Create your own butterfly gardens and outdoor classrooms.
