A Cambridge event will be taking place next month that explains the migration of monarch butterflies.
Of the many species of Canadian butterflies that migrate each year, monarchs are perhaps the most well-known. Greeted as the souls of the ancestors in Mexico, these tiny but tough creatures make their journey north and south over a period of several generations a year.
Starting in 2006, the Charitable Research Reserve has monitored the number of species of butterflies on its property, and monarchs are one of the types that are regularly spotted. They can often prove to be a valuable indicator species, signifying the health or problems in an ecosystem, and this will be one of the topics that will be covered during the evening.
Those assembled at the gathering will enjoy a presentation from Jenna Quinn, which will explore monarchs, their life cycle and how they make their migrations from the northern sections of North America to their winter homes in Mexico, Texas and California. They will also learn about the risks they face, and how different genetic groups of the species follow distinct routes on their journey.
Hosting an event like this can be an important piece in the conservation of a species. Promotional Products such as stickers, T-Shirts, hats, water bottles and pins can also help to spread the word, and can be obtained from a Print shop in the local area.
Cambridge's Old Post Office will be the location for this high flying presentation. It will be offered on March 4th, starting at 6:30pm.Get a Free Quote for Promotional Products Get a Free Quote for Print Get a Free Quote for T-Shirts
