MONARCHS, continued

rainstorms there. This is great news for monarchs, and great news for the Mountain as we gear up to monitor the 2023 spring migration from March through May.

A special thank you to the volunteers that participated in the 2022 fall monitoring project: Mary Goldthwaite, Martha Hahn, Renee Moore, Cynthia Schneider, Rex and Ginna Short, Susan Sridharan and Wendy Whitman. We need more volunteers for the spring 2023 monitoring season.

If you are interested, please contact Susan Sridharan at susansri@cox.net or Wendy Whitman at wlw0223@gmail.com. There are plenty of village entrances still available to monitor, and field training can be held at your convenience. No experience necessary! Time required is approximately 1 hour per week.
