Thank you for being a part of this incredibly important community science program. This remarkable volunteer effort collects invaluable data that gives researchers and conservationists a reliable picture of the western monarch population to inform conservation efforts. The Western Monarch Thanksgiving Count (WMTC) would not be possible without all of you – the volunteers and hard-working regional coordinators!
