Monarch Day at Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill

Enjoy a walk along the scenic trails of Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill while exploring the pollinator habitat of monarch butterflies at this event, which is presented by the Winnakee Land Trust and is part of the Hudson River Valley Ramble.

Learn all about these special insects — how to identify them and their habitat needs that you can nurture at home. Learn about nectar sources, including the site’s flourishing milkweed, and identify other important pollinator plants. Led by Winnakee’s Assistant Director of Land Stewardship Jen Adams, participants will also have the opportunity to help tag monarchs! Each monarch is tagged with a unique code that helps identify where and when they migrate through the Monarch Watch program (This is completely safe and does not harm the monarchs). The Monarch Watch Tagging Program is a large-scale community science project that was initiated in 1992 to help understand the dynamics of the monarch’s spectacular fall migration.
