Monarch Workshop: Train the Trainer @ Big Stone Lodge
Jan 25 @ 8:30 am – 4:30 pm

The National Wildlife FederationTo bring back the monarchs –and to protect all pollinators—we all need to spread the word, to talk to our neighbors, friends, and family about the importance of taking action to conserve the monarch butterfly. Through this workshop, the National Wildlife Federation will help you learn how to acquire the necessary skills to become a knowledgeable speaker on monarch butterfly topics.

This workshop is a one day course on monarch biology, ecology, and conservation. You will learn the basics of monarch habitat creation and conservation and you will leave the course with the knowledge and confidence to engage diverse groups to take action on behalf of the monarch butterfly.

The suggested donation of $60 will cover workshop expenses including materials, lunch and refreshments.

Facebook event also available at facebook.com.
