Mexico Trip   

Monarchs in Mexico 2009
Coordinated by Monarchs Across Georgia since 2004

What makes this trip to the Monarch butterfly Mexican overwintering sites unique?  Our itinerary includes three Monarch colonies.  You will learn about local efforts to promote sustainable and environmentally sound economic activities with our visits to Alternare and the tree nursery at La Cruz Habitat Protection Project. We will visit at least one school near the Monarch Preserves to donate books that have been purchased through our Mexico Book Project.  The emphasis will be on exploring the natural history of the region.  The trip also includes many cultural and culinary delights! We will be walking to see many of these places for this is the best way to experience them.  We hope you can join us on our adventure!
