If you live in the Mid-Michigan Area there are two programs going on this week that might be of interest to you. Both events are open to the public.
Tonight (8 APR 2013) at 6:00PM
The Mid-Mitten Chapter of Wild Ones is hosting a program on Monarch Butterflies at the Chippewa Nature Center in Midland. From the Mid-Mitten Chapter calendar:
Monarch Butterflies and the "Bring Back the Monarchs Campaign":
The Monarch butterfly's life cycle, migration, and habitat have been
studied extensively by many scientists. Learn about the perils Monarchs
face during their travels to Mexico and back, and how our climate has
impacted the populations. Wild Ones, the national organization,
officially joined the "Monarch Joint Venture" last fall in an effort to
plant more milkweeds this year for the Monarchs. Denny Brooks is a long
time amateur naturalist, local nature photographer, and citizen
scientist. He is collecting data for "Monarch Watch" at the University
of Kansas; the "Monarch Larva Monitoring Program" for the University of
Minnesota; parasite testing for the University of Georgia and butterfly
sightings for "Journey North," for over ten years. This program is open
to the public starting at 6 pm at Chippewa Nature Center, 400 Badour
Rd., Midland, Michigan
Wednesday (10 APR 2013) at 7:00PM
The Chippewa Valley Audubon Club is hosting a program on Eastern Bluebirds at the Veterans Memorial Library (301 S. University) in Mt. Pleasant. From the CVAC website:
Bluebirds: Kurt Hagemeister from the Michigan Bluebird Society will talk about
