SUMMARY:Monarch Waystations Session One: Practical Conservation for an At-risk Native Pollinator
DESCRIPTION:The Monarch is a formerly abundant butterfly species that has experienced dramatic and widespread declines since the early 1990’s. Conservation efforts are underway across the US to understand and take action to stop this decline. In this three-part program series\, participants will learn about Monarch natural history\, conservation concerns\, and how to create valuable habitat for Monarchs and other native pollinators in their own backyard. With the support of NH Audubon staff\, each participant will be coached through designing a Monarch Waystation that they can plant in their own yard\, neighborhood\, or workplace. Waystations are patches of habitat containing native plantings to support Monarch butterflies through their full annual cycle. Such native plantings also have direct benefits to other pollinator species. \nThe three sessions of this program will cover the following topics and activities: \nSession 1: Overview of Monarch natural history and conservation\, including: \n\nLife cycle\nHabitat requirements\nSeasonal migration\nThreats to Monarch populations\nConservation strategies\nNOTE: This session is classroom-based and will be held in the PSNH Room at the McLane Center. These facilities are accessible to people with all levels of mobility.\n\nSession 2: Monarch Waystation tour \n\nReview life cycle and habitat requirements for each life stage\nIdentify host plant species for larva\nIdentify nectar plant species for adults\nDiscuss nontarget benefits to native pollinators\nExplore garden design to maximize benefit to Monarchs\nLearn about garden maintenance schedule\nNOTE: This session will primarily take place outdoors. We will meet in the PSNH room at the McLane Center before heading outside to explore the pollinator garden and meadow. All of the outdoor spaces we will explore contain accessible trails for people with all levels of mobility. Please plan to wear outdoor-appropriate clothing and footwear. Clipboards\, writing utensils\, handouts\, and interpretive materials will be provided.\n\nSession 3: Designing and planning the planting of your Monarch Waystation \n\nReview/reflect on garden visit experience\, with a focus on main design elements:\nIdentify Monarch Waystation candidate site(s) in participant yards or in greater community\nCreate a Waystation design\nShare resources for plant/seed sourcing\, labor\, maintenance\nDiscuss how to register your Monarch Waystation with Monarch Watch\nNOTE: This session will be a classroom-based\, hands-on workshop located in the PSNH Room at the McLane Center. These facilities are accessible to people with all levels of mobility. Writing utensils\, handouts\, and interpretive materials will be provided.\n\nParticipants should plan to be available to attend all three sessions. \nThe Monarch Waystation program series is free to attend. If you feel inspired to support NH Audubon’s work\, please consider a gift to our Annual Fund at nhaudubon.org/donate. Your contribution supports priorities like monarch conservation and pollinator habitat creation across New Hampshire. \nContact Project Biologist Lindsay Herlihy with any questions.

SUMMARY:Butterfly ID Field Training #1
DESCRIPTION:Butterflies are one of the most beautiful elements of the natural world\, and scientists recognize that they can also serve as an important indicator of ecosystem health. NH Audubon is partnering with NH Fish and Game and the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) to collect long-term data on butterflies in the Concord region and beyond. We welcome public participation\, and while knowledge of butterflies is a plus\, it is not necessary. Join us for these amazing opportunities to learn and participate in butterfly conservation. \nTrainings (Tuesday 6/9 from 11am-1pm and Saturday 6/13 from 11am–1pm): Steve Mirick\, avid birder and expert butterfly enthusiast who has guided both the birding and butterfly communities through his passion\, skill and commitment will lead this exploration of the butterfly species in Concord\, NH at Karner Blue Butterfly Easement (west end\, just past 25 Chenell Drive\, Concord). This is an optional (but highly recommended) training to prepare participants for the Capital Area Butterfly Survey in July. (Rain dates 6/10 and 6/14\, respectively\, from 11am-1pm.) \nFollowing your training be sure to join the Capital Area Butterfly Survey on Saturday 7/25 from 9am–3pm! \nParticipation in both training and survey events is free of charge. By attending this event\, you and anyone you register on behalf of agree to NH Audubon’s Outdoor Education Program Liability Release & Agreement Waiver. For more information\, please contact Lindsay Herlihy at LHerlihy@nhaudubon.org. \nThe North American Butterfly Association (NABA) organizes the counts and publishes their annual reports. For more information on NABA and the Count Program\, please send a self-addressed\, stamped business envelope to: NABA\, 4 Delaware Road\, Morristown\, NJ 07960.

SUMMARY:Capital Area Butterfly Survey
DESCRIPTION:Butterflies are one of the most beautiful elements of the natural world\, and scientists recognize that they can also serve as an important indicator of ecosystem health. NH Audubon is partnering with NH Fish and Game and the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) to collect long-term data on butterflies in the Concord region and beyond. We welcome public participation\, and while knowledge of butterflies is a plus\, it is not necessary. Join us for these amazing opportunities to learn and participate in butterfly conservation. \nCapital Area Butterfly Survey: Join NH Audubon and fellow butterfly enthusiasts at the McLane Center in Concord to help survey butterflies in the capital area! Whether you’re an expert or just curious\, there’s a role for everyone (and each team will be paired with an expert). Helping navigate different observation spots\, assisting with species identification\, snapping photos for post-event verification\, or recording data for your team are all valuable contributions to this project. This butterfly count has been held since 2021. (Rain date 7/26 from 9am-3pm.) \nParticipation in both training and survey events is free of charge.

SUMMARY:Butterflies Without Borders: Tracking Monarch Migration Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Monarchs are one of the most iconic insects in North America – and the only North American butterfly that undertakes a long-distance\, multi-generational migration. Unfortunately\, these formerly abundant butterflies have experienced dramatic population declines since the 1990s. To better understand and protect this incredible species\, biologists are now tracking Monarch migration routes with the use of tiny radio transmitters. Join NH Audubon biologist Lindsay Herlihy to explore some of the cutting-edge technologies used to track Monarch movements and to discuss the data NH Audubon biologists are gathering. She’ll also share ways you can help support Monarch conservation and research right here in the Granite State. This program will be recorded and made available online for interested viewers who are unable to make it to the webinar itself. To get the login details and a direct link to the presentation recording\, register here. \nPhoto by Lindsay Herlihy. Monarch takes a moment to rest when it is released with a brand-new Lotek tracking tag.\nThanks to our project and webinar partners:\nUS Fish & Wildlife Service (Monarch tagging partner)\nOwensboro Community & Technical College (Monarch tagging partner)\nLower Shore Land Trust (habitat enhancement partner)\nReWild Long Island (habitat enhancement partner)\nHarris Center for Conservation Education (webinar partner)
