Volunteer Opportunity: Monarch Butterfly Tagging at Waterloo Park
October 27 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
This event is perfect for nature enthusiasts (ages 12+) who want to learn more about these beautiful creatures and their incredible journey. Kids 11 and under can still lend a helping hand with their parent or guardian present.
We’ll start the day with a brief presentation on monarch butterfly migration and tagging techniques. Then, we’ll head out to our designated tagging area in the Hill Country Garden, where you’ll have the opportunity to carefully catch and tag your very own monarch butterfly. Our Horticulture Supervisor Adriane Horne will be on hand to assist and answer any questions you may have.
Not only will you have the chance to interact with these amazing creatures up close, but you’ll also be contributing to important scientific research. The information gathered from tagged butterflies helps us better understand their migration patterns and overall population health.
