Miles for Monarchs

What is Miles for Monarchs?

Every year, millions of monarch butterflies embark on a fall migration from the northern U.S. and Canada to central Mexico. And in the spring, they set out to return north after a long winter. Miles for Monarchs is a way for individuals, teams and the entire collective of participants to journey the same 3,000 miles of this migration virtually.
