This Saturday, September 28th, from 9 am to 10:30 am, learn about commonly found butterfly species and their host plants. This walk will be led by Gail Morris, Vice President of the Central Arizona Butterfly Association. During the walk, she will also be searching for and tagging Monarchs for the Southwest Monarch Study to study migration patterns and will show everyone a new radio tag tiny enough for a monarch to wear that they will be testing for the very first time this fall. Due to the unpredictable nature of wildlife, we can not guarantee wildlife sightings.
Walks and tours are free with admission, First come, first served.
Limited to 15 guests, sign up for the walk at the admissions booth.
With over 270 bird species spotted, Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a must-visit for bird enthusiasts. Whether you`re a beginner or a seasoned birder, there`s always something new to discover.
