MONARCH OVER-WINTERING PROJECT

DO YOU LIVE (WORK OR PLAY) WITHIN A MILE OF
THE NORTHERN COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO?        
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN CONTRIBUTING TO SOLVING
ONE OF THE MYSTERIES ABOUT MONARCH BUTTERFLIES?
NEEDED:  Volunteers to participate in the Northern Gulf Coast Monarch
Over-Wintering Count along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico during
the months of January and February.  Participants should reside or spend
part of most weeks within a mile of the Gulf Coast.
WHY?  To begin to gather data to answer the question of “Do monarch
butterflies over-winter along the northern Gulf Coast?”  Many people have
said they have seen monarchs along this coast in January or February,
but currently there is little or no data to verify whether this is a rare or
consistent happening.
The project is directed by Richard RuBino who will be working closely with
David Cook, the current director of the St. Marks NWR Fall Monarch Migration
Tagging Project, and Ron Nelson, who manages the Eden Spring Monarch Migration
Augmentation Project in Tallahassee.
ATTEND A FREE WORKSHOP ON THURSDAY JANUARY 24TH
 FROM
6:00-7:30 P.M. AT THE APALACHICOLA RESERVE NATURE CENTER
