On April 8th, 2024, North America will experience a total solar eclipse! Many community members will be visiting Burlington’s Beach to enjoy the eclipse so be sure to pop on by BurlingtonGreen’s headquarters to say hello, learn about our many impactful Spring opportunities, and you can even deposit your cardboard eclipse glasses into our Terracycle recycling box, following the eclipse!
The eclipse’s path (starting in Mexico, moving through the USA, and then into Canada), mirrors the eastern migration route of the monarch butterfly!
The student-led The Monarch Butterfly Eclipse Project is selling ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses, and if you purchase your solar eclipse glasses HERE 20% of the gross sales will go directly to support BurlingtonGreen’s year-round Nature-Friendly Burlington program!
The Monarch Butterfly Eclipse Project will also use the net proceeds from the sales of the ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses to fund other initiatives that protect the habitat and overall population health of monarch butterflies.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse.
