Monarch NECTAR Hub

Welcome to the Monarch NECTAR Hub, a network for education on conservation, training, and research. This resource is here for you! You will find courses about monarch butterflies and training to support the count of monarchs throughout all stages of their lives, all backed by the latest scientific research. Participants will be able to take courses and trainings on their own schedules but still have access to MJV staff for questions.

TESTIMONIALS

"This course was great to get an understanding of the full situation with the Monarch butterfly. It helped to clarify parts of the lifecycle that I was not aware of despite having taught about butterflies for over a decade. I feel like I can better teach my students how to help Monarchs and other pollinators as well. The information was clear and well expressed to help me easily understand. In addition, the resources provided to look at in further detail are excellent and well put together."

"The Mini Monarch Essentials Course is a must for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of Monarch butterflies and actively contribute to their conservation. I left the course feeling not only more informed but also inspired to take meaningful steps in preserving these incredible insects. Don't hesitate – join this course and be part of the Monarch butterfly conservation movement. You won't be disappointed!"

Sara, Illinois

“This is an excellent program for anyone who is interested in learning more about monarchs and monarch conservation but doesn't know where to start. The course is based in scientific research but avoids being bogged down by jargon and complicated language, and is a really comprehensive overview of the species, their biology, what threats face them, and how you can get involved and make a difference.”
