Monarch Watchers on CBS 60 Minutes
Greetings, Monarch Watchers!
We have some fun news to share with you – Monarchs were featured on an episode of 60 Minutes!
Last fall, a CBS News film crew visited Monarch Watch to learn more about our program. We're excited that we were able to contribute to this story.
As you'll see in the promo linked below, the footage at the overwintering sites in Mexico is spectacular.
View "60 Minutes reports on one of nature's great migrations" on YouTube or the CBS website.

A kick-off event will be held the evening of Thursday, June 26, 2025 at the Donohoe Center. WPP is also planning to bring back its Pollinator Passport project this year 2025.
Please save the date and stay tuned for details.
The Westmoreland Pollinator Partners wishes to thank the gardening community for helping us reach and exceed our goal of
