Journey North
The Journey North project tracks the spring monarch migration by collecting reports of the first sightings of adult monarch butterflies and monarch eggs found on milkweed plants. Each week a migration map will be produced, showing a "live" snapshot of the migration in progress.		 Magnificant Monarchs
The World Wildlife Fund Canada has created an outstanding educational resource that includes a Monarch Migration Game. Try to lead your monarch safely south to its wintering home. Click on the correct route, and learn a little about the Monarchs along the way. Click on the wrong route, and learn of the hazards and obstacles faced by the monarchs. Good luck, and remember  Canada's eastern and western monarchs winter in different destinations. 		 Monarch Watch
Monarch Watch is a cooperative study of the monarch's fall migration to promote science education in primary and secondary schools. Last fall more than 40,000 students in thirty-nine states and three Canadian provinces tagged and studied more than 49,000 Monarchs. In addition to information in joining the Watch, you'll find lots to learn about the monarch, and many ideas for classroom projects.
