This project has concluded. The following materials and resources were developed to train Monarch Wings Across the Eastern Broadleaf Forest (MWAEBF) seed collection volunteers within the Eastern Broadleaf Forest-Continental Province. While the webinars and Download Center materials are still available for your reference, this project is no longer recruiting volunteers. If you are looking to participate in an active project, please go to the Project Wingspan webpage HERE and join us in continuing our efforts to improve the landscape for imperiled pollinators
