Monarch Madness is an event created to highlight the habitat, life cycle, and importance of the Monarch butterfly.

Join us for education and crafts as you expand your knowledge of this pollinator. Try your hand at catching a monarch on one of the guided trail tours. Stick around until the end to learn all about the Monarch migration during the tagging of the butterflies.

Rain date will be Sunday, September 19th, 2-4pm

This is a free event! You must register by September 8!

We value your health and safety.  The University will require all university staff, faculty, and visitors to wear face coverings in university spaces indoors, regardless of vaccination status. “Fully vaccinated” means 14 days after their final dose. People who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear a face covering in university spaces indoors, as well as outdoors when they cannot practice social distancing.

If you feel uncomfortable with not wearing a mask outdoors, you are welcome to continue to do so, however it is not required for vaccinated individuals. Children 12 and under are still required to wear a mask under University Guidelines. 

This is subject to change under change of policy, but participants will be notified the day of the event if a change occurs.  

Please email or call Julia Duncan at 217.877.6042 with questions. 

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact the event coordinator or call 217.877.6042. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your needs, when possible.
