Send a Monarch
The 4th Annual Symbolic Monarch Butterfly Migration is about to begin!
Students across the U.S. and Canada are invited to send symbolic butterflies to Mexico for the winter. Mexican
students will watch over them --and return them next spring as the real monarchs journey north.
Help Track the Monarch Migration
The migration begins in August in northern regions and, by early November, the
first butterflies arrive in Mexico. Report your sightings of southbound monarchs and help track their journey south.
It's time to dig in! Plant a Journey North Tulip Garden so you can proclaim the official
arrival of spring in your community. Students across North America will follow the wave of Spring, 2000.
Unpave the Way
Help ensure that the annual migrations to and through your region continue.
Create your own refuge--on the breeding grounds, wintering grounds, or anywhere along the migration trail--and
unpave the way for wildlife.
Put your habitat site on the map!
Collect clues about seasonal changes in your part of the world. Then
link up with a partner.
Using nature's clues, can you find your partner?
As the fall season progresses, watch for news about the same migratory species
and seasonal events you'll track next spring with Journey North.
