With only a few more weeks left with our Monarch Monitoring Project staff, we wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for one of our free programs this fall.

Whether you attended a tagging demo at Cape May Point State Park, a Drop-In program at the Nature Center of Cape May, braved the rain for Monarch Fest, or talked to us at Convention Hall during the Fall Festival, we hope you enjoyed your time with us this fall! More importantly, we hope you learned why it's so important for us to continue studying these incredible migratory insects, and how you can help them along their migration.

We also wanted to say thank you to our MMP staff, Anna, Maria, and Juliet, for delivering each of these programs, with the help of our MMP volunteers and the staff at the Nature Center of Cape May.

Want to see the Monarch Monitoring Team give one last presentation? Join us next Wednesday, November 4, at the Lower Township Library at 6 PM for a season wrap-up presentation, with a deep dive into the monarchs we’ve tagged this fall. Sign up for this FREE program through the link in our bio.

Peak monarch migration typically occurs in early to mid-October. We were excited to see lots of monarchs moving around our gardens this week. We want to see your photos! Comment with a recent picture you took of a monarch caterpillar or butterfly.

P.S. Our center is still open daily, 10am-4pm. Stop by to enjoy our nature exhibits and pollinator gardens!
