Monarch Tagging

Whiterock Conservancy offers Monarch Tagging!

Whiterock Conservancy is participating in the Monarch Watch tagging program and needs your help capturing Monarch Butterflies to tag!

Join Whiterock on September 6th from 10:00 to 11:30 AM and investigate the life cycle of a Monarch Butterfly, discover how to identify male and female Monarchs, study Monarch migration and learn how to tag Monarchs on their journey south to central Mexico.

Attend this FREE public program to explore the life of a Monarch Butterfly. Whiterock will have butterfly nets to catch your own butterfly for this family friendly event (Thank you to the Carroll County Homeschool Group for donating Butterfly Nets to Whiterock!)

Meet at the Bur Oak Visitor Center, 1436 Hwy 141, just east of Coon Rapids, Iowa 50058 which offers unique prairie walks and butterfly habitat.

A great activity for all ages! Please wear long pants even if it is hot. Tennis shoes/socks, sunscreen, hats and a water bottle are all recommended. For more information contact Whiterock Conservancy at (712)-790-8221x2.
