Milkweed, Migration, and Monarchs Lecture

Join us for a fascinating exploration with ecologist Aramee Diethelm of western monarch butterflies and the science that is being done to conserve them.

Each spring, western monarch butterflies return to breeding areas across the West, but we know surprisingly little about how they spread across the landscape during the summer. As part of a multi-state monitoring network attempting to understand these patterns, Dr. Diethelm will share information about monarch natural history, reproduction, breeding habitat, and how we might think about conserving the diverse habitats western monarchs rely on throughout their lives.

This will be a 60-minute lecture with opportunity for Q&A held at the Tipton Meeting House at Sedgwick Reserve. This program will not be live Zoomed, but the lecture will be recorded and made available to registered participants after the event. Attendance is free but donations to Sedgwick of any amount are welcomed.
