This is a website designed to help you learn about Monarch butterflies and how you can get involved by helping them through citizen science.

Currently, our primary objectives are:

Obtain robust estimates of overwintering monarch population sizes at select sites in San Luis Obispo and Monterey Counties.
Develop models, based on diverse ecological variables over local and regional scales, which allow us to predict the population size for overwintering monarchs.
Tagging of monarchs to study movement and demographic connections between overwintering sites
Develop models, based on local, and even grove specific habitat variables, that explain overwintering monarchs abundant, tree use, and movement within and between groves.
Science based management, planning and conservation.
Collaboration with local Natural History Associations and docent groups that are interested in monarch butterfly biology and conservation.
Education and outreach to further an appreciation and understanding of monarch biology and migration dynamics.
