News and Updates
All of the K-6
students at Weaver Lake Elementary School in Maple Grove, Minnesota studied
monarchs and insect ecology this fall. They had a schoolwide monarch fair
at which students shared their findings about monarch life cycles, camouflage,
parasites, and ecology with their parents, teachers and administrators. View the YouTube videos the students made about their work.
We invite your attendance at a 2.5-day meeting, June 21-23, 2012, at the University of Minnesota’s Landscape Arboretum. This meeting will be an opportunity for monarch biologists, agency land managers, monarch conservationists, citizen scientists, and others interested in monarch biology and conservation to share information on monarch population trends, new findings in monarch biology, and successful monarch conservation efforts. It will include speaking and poster sessions, field trips, workshops, and plenty of time for informal sharing and networking.
This 5th international conference on monarch biology and conservation is being planned and sponsored by the Monarch Joint Venture and the MonarchLab at the University of Minnesota. For more information, please visit the meeting website or contact Priya Shahani or Karen Oberhauser.
