Sept. 30 is the deadline for Symbolic Migration Project early migrants! Purchase your passenger ticket and postmark your ambassador by this date to receive the incentive of a reduced price ($15) for their passenger ticket, as well as the benefit of having their ambassador delivered in the first wave of school visits before winter break. 

Nearly 200 passenger tickets been purchased to date and ambassadors are arriving now!

Join us for this year's annual Symbolic Monarch Migration with youth across Mexico, the United States and Canada. With this project, youth decorate paper butterflies, called ambassadors, which are mailed and distributed to schools near the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. A passenger ticket covers costs of shipping ambassadors to and from Mexico, as well as environmental education in Mexico.

Join us for the 29th annual Symbolic Monarch Migration along with youth across North America. Families, home schools, zoos and aquariums, nature centers, libraries, youth groups and classrooms are welcome to participate.

This project helps to build bridges between students in Mexico, the United States and Canada. United by the wonder of monarch butterfly migration, participating youth learn about cooperative conservation and ambassadorship as well as monarch biology and phenology.
