The Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy are participating in the Monarch Watch monarch butterfly tagging program to help generate data on the insect’s migration and habitat. We’ll offer four family friendly events where participants will learn techniques for netting and tagging butterflies. No equipment or experience is necessary, but if you have your own butterfly net, feel free to bring it with.

Event Locations:

The Bock Forest: We will meet at the Kiosk located at the Highland Way entrance. Street parking is available on Highland Way.

Saturday September 10th, 1 – 3 pm at the Bock Forest

Dane County Unit: We will meet at the FOPBC equipment trailer. Parking is available in the Dane County lot at 4865 Pheasant Branch Rd, or at Orchid Heights Park.

Saturday September 17th, 1 -3 pm at Dane County Unit
