Friends of Bees and the Life-Friendly Garden Tour encourage you to participate in the 2025 International Monarch Monitoring Blitz. Running from July 25 to August 3, this annual event invites individuals and organizations across Canada, Mexico and the United States to participate in a trinational effort. Through citizens science, you can help collect data on Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) and the milkweed plants (Asclepias spp.) essential for the species' survival. Organized by ten partner organizations across North America, the Blitz encourages everyone to contribute to monarch butterfly conservation through simple, yet impactful, actions. Learn more about how to participate in the Blitz here.
There are even more suggestions of how to help the Monarch Butterfly and support the Mayor's Monarch Pledge here.
