Monarch Tagging

Each year, Eastern Monarchs migrate to Mexico for their over winter stay. To learn more about their population and migration patterns, citizen scientists tag monarchs each year and report their data.

Join us at Columbia Crossing to learn more about the monarch life cycle, what monarch tagging looks like, and participate in tagging any monarchs we find.

Susquehanna National Heritage Area is a part of the Operation Pollination Project that over twenty other National Heritage Areas participate in. This program highlights the importance of monarchs, butterflies, and moths as pollinators.
