Join Monarch Watch, the Lawrence Bird Alliance and the Baker Wetlands Discovery Center for a free public monarch-tagging event at the Baker Wetlands.

Participants will receive nets, tags and instructions before heading into the wetlands to carefully capture, tag and release monarch butterflies continuing their migration to Mexico. No previous tagging experience is required, and participants of all ages are welcome.

Monarchs are often roosting or clustered during the early morning before they begin foraging as temperatures rise. Participants who have their own butterfly nets are encouraged to bring them, although nets will also be available.

The event will be held rain or shine.
