The Monarch Larva Monitoring Project (MLMP) is a community science project that tracks monarch butterfly populations from caterpillars to butterflies throughout North America. Spend time with nature at our group monitoring events or set up your schedule at a designated park to independently monitor. Group monitors will receive specialized training on-site, and independent monitors must complete online training on the MLMP website. The group monitoring events are family-friendly; volunteers under 18 years old will complete a minor Volunteer Service Agreement form before volunteering.
