Oyamel Forests

Monarchs gathering on tree tops

Each fall, eastern North American monarch butterflies migrate up to 2,000 miles to high-altitude Oyamel fir forests in central Mexico. There, over 100 million monarchs overwinter.

The mountain hillsides of Oyamel forest provide an ideal microclimate for the butterflies.

Awesome.
