Did you know the Monarch butterfly population has been steadily decreasing for decades? In the wild, Monarchs only have a 10% chance of making it to the butterfly stage.
You can help! We invite everyone of all ages to register for our butterfly raise and release kits. In the kits we will provide you with everything needed to raise and release your butterflies. You will only need to collect fresh milkweed for food.
Please note: the actual butterflies are not included in the kit. we will provide information on how to locate butterflies and eggs in the wild since our goal is to help our local wild population thrive.
Each kit will also include 1 butterfly tag from monarchwatch.org so you can track your butterfly's migration once you’ve released them!
Kits include:
-Butterfly net
-Milkweed seeds
-Butterfly Waystation brochure
-Butterfly life cycle coloring sheet
-Butterfly bookmark
-Butterfly growth tracker
-1 butterfly tag
Thank you for helping us save the monarchs!
