Testimonials

“The self-paced online training is a great alternative for people who may not be able to attend one of the live regional webinars or an in-person training. Important topics are shown in separate videos that are thorough but not too long. The balance is just right for learning about monarch biology, conservation, specific monitoring protocols, and where/how to find more information.” 

-Andrea, Virginia

Don't hesitate – join this course and be part of the Monarch butterfly conservation movement. You won't be disappointed!"

"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."
