Monarch Health Newsletter

2019 was an important year for Project Monarch Health! We received over 9,000 samples from volunteers all over the US and Canada. We've highlighted the trends we saw during 2019 in our annual newsletter.

​

This project runs every year and kits are available throughout the year, every year. Send an email

to with your mailing address to request a kit!  We welcome new volunteers, especially in areas where the map shows we need more samples.

Check our our new data sheet and the instructional video we made it to help you fill it out.

14 years of Project Monarch Health

Monarch Health is a program that has been around for 14 years. The program has grown in number of samples and coverage and it is currently seeking to expand its scope by adding queen and soldier butterflies and we hope to get queen and soldier samples every year from volunteers who see them.

Maria Luisa Muller has developed a guide that can help to identify queen, soldiers, and monarchs.
