Volunteer Opportunity: Monarch Butterfly Tagging at Waterloo Park

Address: 1301 Trinity St, Austin, TX

Join us for an unforgettable experience as we tag monarch butterflies at Waterloo Park during their annual migration!

We’ll start the day with a brief presentation on monarch butterfly migration and tagging techniques. Then, we’ll head out to our designated tagging area, where you’ll have the opportunity to carefully catch and tag your very own monarch butterfly.

Not only will you have the chance to interact with these amazing creatures up close, but you’ll also be contributing to important scientific research. The information gathered from tagged butterflies helps us better understand their migration patterns and overall population health.

This event is perfect for nature enthusiasts (ages 12+) who want to learn more about these beautiful creatures and their incredible journey. Kids 11 and under can still lend a helping hand with their parent or guardian present.

Don’t miss out on this unique and educational experience! Register today and join us on our monarch butterfly tagging adventure.
