As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread, Monarch Research is following CDC guidelines to protect the health and safety of our Monarch/Pollinator Zones, volunteers, and friends.
' We are monitoring the ongoing and changing requirements of our health and government officials, and vigilantly following their recommendations
' We have reviewed our critical business functions and are confident we are able to provide our clients assistance through email, Facebook, Blog posts, and telephone communication.
' Our inside lab is actively preparing for the upcoming Monarch/Pollinator season and we look forward to the continued successes of our Monarch Zones.
Until further notice, we have closed Monarch Research Station to friends and visitors. We will continue our preparations for the upcoming season in a safe manner that limits access to our facilities. If you have any questions during this period, please don't hesitate to contact Mike Martin at mrmonarch2017@gmail.com. You can also reach our team at info@monarchresearch.org.
Our love for nature brings us together. We can continue to take great comfort in spending time outdoors, especially during stressful and uncertain times such as these. We are looking forward to seeing you again soon, so we can collectively continue our critical mission of restoring native habitat for our pollinators.
Please keep an eye out this Spring for some exciting announcements from our team!
