SUMMARY:Milkweed and Floral Resource Availability for Monarchs in the US - June 25
DESCRIPTION:Be among the first to discover what 8 years of Integrated Monarch Monitoring Program data can tell us about monarch habitat! MJV staff will share the findings from a variety of studies that utilize the IMMP to survey monarchs and their habitat. They’ll summarize habitat metrics across over a thousand sites\, covering much of the monarch’s breeding range\, and explore variation in milkweed density and floral resource availability across geographic regions and land uses. Then take a more focused dive into California\, where MJV teams have surveyed several Bureau of Land Management sites for monarchs and milkweed. \n\n\n\nPresented by Jennifer Thieme & Sarah Gomes\, Monarch Joint Venture. \n\n\n\nThis presentation is part of the Monarch Conservation Webinar Series by Monarch Joint Venture.
