Annual Monarch Ditch Rescue (Volunteer Opportunity)
Teaming up with Marathon Co Highway Dept, we select certain patches of milkweed to flag from being mowed. The milkweed patches between the flags are gently stripped of caterpillars and eggs that are then brought back to the butterfly gardens where they are placed in pest safe enclosures until they are ready to be released as a butterfly.
Volunteers will learn how to handle, raise and release monarchs. Healthy food and drinks will be provided to volunteers as well as proper safety equipment
