8/2/18 I have relocated to Gatineau, Quebec, Canada near Ottawa Ontario and I am continuing my participation in citizen science with researchers studying the Eastern Migratory Monarch Butterfly. I now live in a place where Migratory Monarch Butterflies begin and finish their complex migration to and from Mexico. In San Luis Obispo, I was working with Monarch Butterfly populations that were overwintering. I have begun to reach out to researchers here in my new home to continue helping with Monarch Butterfly conservation. Last weekend, I joined “The Friends of Gatineau Park” to help with a citizen science opportunity here in Quebec. I helped with an Eastern Migratory Monarch Butterfly larvae survey in nearby Gatineau National Park. We spent the day measuring the amount of caterpillars, eggs and adults seen in the fields of milkweed we were assigned. Next, I plan to ask the mayor of my new city (Gatineau, QC) and the mayor of Ottawa, ON to take the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge. I am going to work hard to get my new community involved the the protection of the Eastern Migratory Monarch Butterfly. I especially want to get kids my own age more involved. I believe we are the generation that is going to save the Migratory Monarch on both sides of the Continental Divide!
