Cancelled due the library has no power I will be rescheduling

Cheboygan is a major migration corridor for birds but also other travelling pollinators, including monarch butterflies!

Monarchs matter, and you can make a difference in their survival. Our event on Tuesday, June 24, has been postponed due to electrical repairs at the library. We will update everyone when we know the new date local monarch enthusiast Lauri Juday will be here. We are looking forward to when Lauri can share ways we can all protect and support monarchs, including ways to make "waystations" and provide other assistance for migrating pollinators.

Monarch butterflies migrate the length of North America, traveling from our northern reaches (and even Canada) down to Mexico and South America. The library's pollinator-supportive landscaping is makes our grounds a great place for monarchs and we see several every year. The nearby trail is also a convenient spot to locate monarchs and other pollinators.

This program is one of the 2025 Adventures brought to us by Earth Week Plus. You can find more information about this program and other free Adventures highlighting our local natural resources on their website, linked in the comments. Monarchs Matter is free, open to all, and all ages are welcome.
