"Conservation and Management of Western Monarchs on DoD Lands"
Wednesday, March 14, 2018 (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET)

Monarch butterfly populations have declined dramatically across North America, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing the species for a potential Endangered Species Act listing. Breeding phenology differs between Eastern and Western Monarch populations, and scientists know very little about Western Monarch breeding patterns. During the next DoD Natural Resources webinar, Stephanie McKnight with The Xerces Society will provide an overview of DoD Legacy project 17-836, "Conservation and Management of Western Monarchs on DoD Lands: Implications of Breeding Phenology." The presentation will provide an overview of the Western Monarch population, and offer preliminary findings of the research and implications for Monarch butterfly conservation and management on DoD lands in the western United States.
