Students in need of Fall 2016 volunteer opportunities

MONARCH BUTTERFLY VOLUNTEERS WANTED !!
Where do New Mexico's Monarchs go to spend winters? Monarchs are the most famous butterfly in the world because of their remarkable migration to escape North American winters and their return to breed in the spring. Most of us have seen Monarchs, but we think know them so well that we take them for granted. We don't really know where New Mexico Monarchs go for the winter. The best way to prove where they go is to tag them on their way south, then hope our tagged Monarchs are spotted at overwintering sites in Mexico or California.
In 2016 we hope to tag 500 Monarchs. That's a lot, so we need your help! Please come to the Whitfield Wildlife Conservation Area and join staff of the Natural Resource Institute in their tagging effort on Tuesday, September 13, 2016, from 9:00 am to 12:00 Noon to net, tag and release Monarchs. No special expertise needed - only your enthusiasm.
This project will be a fun learning process for all of us and could help protect this spectacular butterfly phenomenon for future generations. If you want to join the crew, please contact Ted Hodoba at Whitfield at 505-818-4874 or whitfi...@gmail.com

Ted,
I am going to try and be there. It would be a good learning experience and something we could add to our teaching down there in the winter.

Hi all,
Approximately 55 students in the Community and Regional Planning Department's Introduction to Environmental Problems course at UNM have an assignment to commit at least 5 hours toward environmental-related stewardship work this semester.
If you have a project or event coming up between the beginning of September and the end of November, please consider letting me know and I'll pass the word to them, or leave a message with your opportunities on our course website: CRP181
Thanks!
