Monarch
Migrations at Shawnee
Fall migration has begun. As Monarch butterflies are making their
journey to Mexico, join a naturalist on Saturday September 3rd at 2pm
at Shawnee Prairie Nature Preserve to tag, record data, and release
these winged beauties. As part of MonarchWatch, Darke County Parks
participate in the research of local monarch populations. During this
free afternoon program, learn more about the natural history,
conservation status, and citizen science projects that focus on the
Monarch butterfly.
For questions about this program or any other program offered by the
Darke County Parks, please stop by the nature center, call (937)
548-0165, or email info@darkecountyparks.org.
