Mobile Migration
Again in 2024, we are hosting a Mobile Migration activity, symbolizing the Tri-Nation migration of Monarchs from their
northern breeding grounds up along the Canadian/US border south through the US East of the Rockies to their over-
wintering grounds in the Oyamel fir forests of Central Mexico, a nearly 3000-mile journey! We have chosen 6
gardens ranging from Oxley Nature Center as our northernmost point, down to the Audubon Society’s Flycatcher Trail
in Jenks. In between are some nifty locations many of you may be unaware of. Signage at each location will tell you
some interesting things about the various unique aspects of how the migration coincides with stages of a Monarch’s life
cycle and the generational progression of their journey! Enjoy and have fun!
