There's a wonderful video of the teacher's trip to Mexico. I hope they made one or will make one for the trip to California. I have not gotten to go to either colony. But, did attend the MTN training in VA and helped with a couple more workshops the next year.

I got to meet this incredible teacher who is in the film. She tells why (Monarch Teacher Network) MTN is such an important learning opportunity for instructors and students.

I just met 2 teachers from Centreville, VA who were at the Fairfax summer workshop and said it was very good. They are really excited and I am going to share my experience and knowledge with them. They are seeking milkweed seed to give plants to 135 schools in Fairfax County, VA. They are also mapping milkweed locations. Fun and exciting stuff!

I stopped by the Prince William workshop in Manassas, Virginia. This sounds exciting.

I need to check this patch of common milkweed to see how it is going. There should be plenty of seeds.
