Description
Marvel at the incredible journey of the Monarch butterfly-tiny, delicate, and tougher than they look. Each fall, these striking orange-and-black travelers set off from Massachusetts on a remarkable trip to Mexico, guided by instinct alone.
On this adventure, we'll hike the trails with nets in hand, carefully collecting and observing butterflies up close before releasing them back into the wild. Along the way, discover the Monarch's fascinating life cycle-from egg to caterpillar to winged adult-and learn why milkweed is essential to their survival. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for one of nature's most impressive long-distance flyers.
