Dear friends,
Welcome all to the peak of an extraordinary Monarch season at the Sanctuaries Sierra Chincua and El Rosario in Angangueo, Michoacán, Mexico.
North America has two migratory populations of monarch butterflies. This collection of articles and resources focuses on the western population.
Scientists cheered today at a press conference in Mexico City when this year’s official monarch population estimate was announced.
The clustering butterflies cover 14.9 acres (6.05 hectares) of forest, the highest recorded since 2006 and an increase of 144% from last winter.
For its first 25 years, Journey North was fully supported through the generosity of Annenberg Learner. With the goal of securing a sustainable future, we have found a trusted citizen science partner to take over the initiative and continue its legacy. In February 2019, Journey North joined the UW–Madison Arboretum as a significant addition to the Citizen Science program. Your support is essential to sustaining Journey North’s future.
