The Monarch Larva Monitoring Project 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 an online training.
