Des Moines Parks and Recreation is hosting tagging events at various parks in September to conserve our Monarch butterfly population. Learn about Monarch butterflies and their migration, then help us tag butterflies. Monarchs are captured using nets we provide, tagged with a special identification sticker and released back into nature. People of all ages are welcome to attend this free conservation program.
