Henry Doorly Zoo — Monarch Butterfly Tagging & Amphibian Citizen Science

About This Opportunity

Henry Doorly Zoo hosts public citizen science events where visitors contribute data to real scientific research. Monarch butterfly tagging events in August and September invite visitors to carefully hold a live Monarch, attach a small numbered tag to its wing, record its measurements, and release it — contributing to the continental tracking database that maps migration routes across North America. The Amphibian Conservation Education Project (ACEP) allows anyone to survey local populations of frogs, toads, and salamanders and report water quality data online. Both programs are free with zoo admission and require no prior experience.

Who Can Apply

Open to all zoo visitors. Monarch tagging events are family-friendly, all ages. Zoo admission required — general admission or membership.
