Join us at The Ridges for Monarch Madness to celebrate these amazing butterflies! Learn more about their life cycle, population, and the conservation efforts surrounding them.
Tag talks daily during Monarch Madness from 1:30 – 2 pm. During Tag talks, visitors will be able to learn about Monarch butterflies and see them being tagged and released.
Sponsor a Monarch butterfly with a $5 donation and be a part of it’s journey as it migrates across North America from Wisconsin down to Mexico. The Monarch you sponsor will be tagged and released prior to it’s migration to central Mexico. Monarch tagging is a decades long research project aimed at protecting monarch butterfly populations across North America.
Sponsorship includes a pin and a tag number which you can access online to see if the Monarch you sponsored made it to Mexico.
