Monarchs in Maine

Learn all about the fascinating lives of monarchs, and what is being done to protect them, with Maine Master Naturalist Rebekah Lowell.

Monarchs are in danger. They are currently on the red list and need help. If you’ve been curious about monarch conservation, this program is for you. Over the past 8+ years, local artist and Maine Master Naturalist, Rebekah Lowell, has rescued, tagged, and released over 1,800 monarchs from local hayfields and at-risk habitat.* She shares this work on instagram (@rebekahlowell) and in her newsletter, as well as with friends and family who like to stop by and check on the project. And now she’s sharing about her work with others through programs like this one. Learn about how she spends hours a day finding, collecting, raising, tagging, and releasing hundreds of monarchs a season in a homemade conservatory she and her father built last summer. And, learn what you can do to help!

*The State of Maine has issued a permit for monarch collection and conservation.

Please note that this presentation will take place on the second floor of The Pod, our winterized building on the farm.
