Past Training

November 10-11th, 2018 - Saline Valley group survey:

We had 15 amazing volunteers come to Saline Valley for training and the first survey of the Western Monarch Thanksgiving Count! The monarch numbers in Saline Valley were low and we counted only 13 monarchs at Hunter Canyon. We were able to tag one monarch with the help of one of our youngest volunteers, Coco. Thank you to everyone that was able to make it!
