Coastal Mountains Nature Program: Monarch Butterfly Migration
August 5, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for an interactive exploration into the life cycle of butterflies with former Cape May butterfly tagger Genny Davis! Eastern Monarch butterflies have remarkable migration paths, traveling up to 2,500 miles in a single year. Many of these incredible creatures have breeding grounds in Maine! Come late summer, the milkweed fields of the Midcoast will be donned by their vibrant wings!
Genny will demonstrate how taggers handle these robust, yet delicate animals and will be sharing her insect expertise! Our office is home to a hearty milkweed meadow. Lemonade will be served!
The Coastal Mountains office is located at:
101 Mt. Battie Street
Camden, ME 04843
This is event is free and open to all ages! All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please leave dogs at home.
The Coastal Mountains Nature Program is a series of free guided walks and talks led by Maine-based naturalists with varying areas of expertise. These events run from April through October.
