Sighting Wanted


We would appreciate it if you could inform your butterfly club members and
local naturalists about this outstanding program and share with us your
first sighting of a monarch butterfly this spring. Over 4000 classrooms in
Canada and the U.S.A. use this information during their science studies
using Journey North.

PLEASE SUPPORT JOURNEY NORTH - SPRING 2001

Journey North is an outstanding internet-based science program that
monitors and documents the arrival of spring as it sweeps across North
America. This award-winning program is utilized by over 4000 classrooms in
Canada and the United States.  Students can contribute data, download
information and make predictions, and even share information with other
schools in Canada or the United States. You can support this program by
sharing your "first" sightings of certain target species and phenomenon.
You can register with the program, and report your sightings directly to
Journey North (www.learner.org/jnorth).  Alternately, F.O.N. Life Member
Don Davis, who has supported this program since its inception, would be
pleased to forward your sightings to Journey North .  Don can be reached
at: donald.davis at utoronto.ca. Please let your colleagues and local schools
know about this program.  Migration update reports are issued regularly
for target species.
