[Pollinator] MonarchLive Program

[Mona Miller]

I got to meet the Monarch Live producers during a field trip to Patuxent Wildlife Refuge.  The Monarch Teacher Network was visiting a researcher there for an introduction to the work he is doing with tagging Monarchs at Patuxent and at Cape May.

I am very excited about the work that Monarch Live is doing.

  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.
