By Sponsored Content

CAPE MAY – New Jersey General Assembly members Andrzejczak, Benson, Eustace and Spencer will join in the 25th year of the Monarch Monitoring Project fall migration surveys in Cape May Point State Park, Oct. 1. The Monarch Monitoring Project is a research and education program run through NJ Audubon’s Cape May Bird Observatory that collects data on the hundreds of thousands of Monarchs moving through Cape May each September and October.
Monarch butterfly populations have declined by more than 90% in the past 20 years. Several bills introduced in the New Jersey Legislature this summer aim to help Monarchs better survive. Two bills focus exclusively on Monarchs, while others will benefit a host of other pollinator species through enhanced awareness and improved habitat conditions.
Following a visit to a Monarch life cycle exhibit and tours of private residential gardens for butterfly observation, collection and processing, the Assembly members will join a public demonstration of tagging and release of Monarchs at 2:00 at the Cape May Point State Park East Shelter.
