A Message from our President

In a normal year this issue of the Dragonflyer would address our busiest season, with naturalist events at peak activity.  While this certainly isn’t a normal year and we are far from peak activity, I am so grateful for and proud of the strong work NTMN members are putting in to keep our chapter mission going.

Citizen Science Project: Pollinators

We all know and love Monarch butterflies, but there are thousands more pollinators around. Scientists need to know which plants are most attractive to them. You can help them find out from the comfort of your own backyard! Learn how here!
