Summary

Trade in your hiking poles for butterfly nets for the day and get a close-up look at some of the beauty migrating through NH.  Enjoy an aerobic workout netting monarch butterflies, tagging them with stickers from the University of Kansas’ Monarch Watch program https://monarchwatch.org, and releasing them.  Not to worry, I’ll have extra nets.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about this amazing insect species and contribute to a better understanding of their migratory behavior.

 Please bring water and snack/lunch to get you through the day.  I advise sunscreen and tick repellent too

Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot

We’ll meet at Shawnee’s General Store 732 Mt Moosilauke Hwy, Wentworth, NH 03282 at 9:00 a.m. and carpool from there.   We’ll be visiting sites in the Warren and Wentworth areas.    We’ll wrap up around 4:00 p.m.  There’s always ice cream at Moose Scoops in Warren afterwards.
