MONARCH WATCH ANNOUNCES ‘BRING BACK THE MONARCHS’ CAMPAIGN

Thanks to our funding sources, Monarch Watch and our partner nurseries were able to distribute 113,500 free milkweeds for restoration in 2017. Since the program began in the Fall of 2015, we have distributed 320,000 milkweeds! We also owe a big thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to plant and care for these milkweeds.

The Spring 2018 application is now open for habitat restoration projects

1. I LOVE Monarchs and grow lots of milkweed.

Thanks for posting this.

It's a good reminder.

What a wonderful project.

2. My wife had several milkweeds out front, but

we couldn't keep them alive since the monarch caterpillars ate them too fast!

She ended up switching to fire spikes for hummingbirds.

3. the monarch caterpillars ate them too fast!

That's the idea.

4. Well...

I agree, except in our case they ate them all the way down, and the plants never survived!
