Look for the Monarchs Family Take Home Kit

Oklahoma is an important way station on both the spring and fall migrations of the Eastern Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). Spring migrators make their way across the Gulf of Mexico to Texas each March and roll into Oklahoma in April. As they fly northward, they stop off through our great state in search of milkweed plants on which to lay their eggs.
Unfortunately, there has been a decline in the monarch butterfly population that has been attributed to several factors, including habitat fragmentation, loss, and degradation (including milkweed loss), overutilization, and disease/predation, as well as climate change, weather extremes, invasive species, and pesticides. The Oklahoma-Texas region has been identified as critical for conservation efforts, with an emphasis on milkweed and nectar resource availability.
Use this kit and its included family activities to learn more about Monarch butterflies, their importance to our ecosystem, and how you can help.
So that more families are able to enjoy this kit, please only register for one kit per household.
Multiple reservations will not be honored.
