MONARCH MIGRATION PROJECT

High school youth throughout the west are getting together to learn more about and help the Monarch butterfly. Monarch Migration Project West (MMPWest) wants to help your group make a difference in your community and for the Monarch.

If you are a high school aged youth here’s your opportunity to do something. You’ll find information on how to get funding for a project idea and how to become part of network of youth talking about Monarch butterfly issues and ideas. We’ve also included a place where you can ask questions or just view the western range of this magnificent butterfly. Wherever your explorations take you we hope you have fun and become inspired.
