Five Rivers: Citizen Community Science: Monarch Larva Monitoring Project (MLMP)

Contact  Five Rivers Environmental Education Center
518-475-0291 or 5rivers@dec.ny.gov
Location  Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, 56 Game Farm Road Delmar, NY 12054 - Map

Take part in ongoing research on monarch butterflies. For more than 15 years, we have collected data at Five Rivers and contributed to the University of Minnesota’s continent-wide citizen science project. The goal of the MLMP is to better understand how and why monarch populations vary, with a focus on their distribution and abundance during the breeding season in North America (Canada, Mexico, and United States). Go to monarchjointventure.org/mlmp to learn more about the project.

For this program, meet at the pavilion near the main parking lot.

Please call 518-475-0291 by the Monday  before the program to register

About the Bay Park Conveyance Project


The Bay Park Conveyance Project is a partnership between NYSDEC and NCDPW. Together NYSDEC and NCDPW are improving water quality and storm resiliency in Long Island’s Western Bays by upgrading its existing wastewater management infrastructure. This innovative Project will convey treated water from the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility (previously known as the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant) located in Nassau County, New York, to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant's ocean outfall pipe.

Note that the events at environmental education centers will only display in the region in which they are located, even though they serve residents from adjacent areas.
