Tremont's monarch tagging: first day








Thank you to all who braved the 95-degree day and joined us for the first day of Tremont’s monarch butterfly tagging in Cades Cove in 2019.

The Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont is celebrating 50 years of connecting people to nature through classes, workshops, hikes and citizen science programs. People of all ages attend Tremont’s offerings. I especially liked this monarch outing because of the wide range of ages out in the field looking for butterflies.  

Originally created by naturalist Wanda DeWaard in 1998, this initiative is one of Tremont’s most popular offerings under the direction of citizen science coordinator Erin Canter.

Thank you for letting me join the fun and especially to my co-facilitators Oliver, Karen, Daniel and Erin.
