CUE Monitoring Projects

Monarch Watch

Monarch Watch ( www.monarchwatch.com ) is an educational and outreach organization based at the University of Kansas. Hundreds of millions of  monarch butterflies east of the Rocky Mountains migrate from the United States to overwintering areas in Mexico annually. The CUE has worked to establish two Monarch Waystations here on campus. Monarchs are netted at these waystations and fitted with marked, light weight tags to help monitor their migration paths. Data collected for this project is sent to the Monarch Watch database and thus contributes to monarch conservation efforts.
