Daily Monarch Tagging Event

Stop by the Nature Center during Monarch Madness, where Ridges staff will be on hand to answer questions and teach visitors about monarch caterpillars and butterfly migration. Each day we’ll be doing demonstrations about the tagging process and tag butterflies that are ready to head out on their journey. The Ridges receives stags from the non-profit organization Monarch Watch, which we apply to the migrating monarch butterflies before they are released at the end of August. Tag or sponsor a monarch for $5 per tag while supplies last. Tagging kits available to take home for $5 per tag. Suitable for families of all ages.
