Monitoring Monarch Butterflies Webinar hosted by Idaho F&G
May 28 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm CDT
Idaho Fish and Game needs your help to adopt milkweed patches across the Gem State and monitor the milkweed throughout summer 2025. The survey kicks off July 1 and goes through Aug. 15. Volunteer community scientists will need to check their sites one to three times during this time frame in order to document crucial information, like stem counts, health of the patch itself and count butterflies.
Fish and Game manages a very broad range of wildlife, and monarch butterflies are not exempt from these efforts. The information you collect will help the agency in any future assessments of milkweed and monarchs for any ESA listing decision.
If becoming a community scientist seems like it’ll add too much to your plate this summer, don’t sweat it. Getting signed up is super easy. Fish and Game will be hosting a virtual training webinar on Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will also be a slew of online training videos and documents to review at your leisure.
