The TWU Dr. Bettye Myers Butterfly Garden (Phase 1, located on the south end of the Ann Stuart Science Complex) has officially been designated Monarch Watch waystation number 22127.  Monarch Waystations provide milkweeds, nectar plants, and shelter for monarchs throughout their annual cycle of reproduction and migration.  Creating and maintaining a Monarch Waystation contributes to monarch conservation and helps to assure the continuation of the monarch migration in North America. 

Biology faculty members Camelia Maier and Amy Jo Hammett were instrumental in obtaining the designation for TWU.
