The Symbolic Monarch Migration - Celebrating 30 Years!
As real monarchs make their way to their Mexican overwintering grounds this season, symbolic monarchs travel from Canada and the United States to the same destination. Soon, these paper Ambassadors will be arriving at schools in the states of México and Michoacán.
To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we are inviting participants in Canada, the United States, and Mexico to share stories about the positive impact that Symbolic Monarch Migration has had.
We seek to gather 30 stories to share as inspiration and to substantiate the project's value. United by the monarch butterfly, authentic lessons about conservation, cooperation, and ambassadorship are critical messages for all ages. Please consider sharing YOUR story!
Stories should be submitted as emails or attached as Word documents. They may also be accompanied by photos and/or short video clips, if available. Ensure that photo release forms have been secured. Please send them directly to symbolic-migration@eealliance.org by December 1, 2025.
