Save the Monarch


monarcsomething

The Monarch Butterfly population has been in a steep decline over the past decade. Factors include: weather, pollution, and pesticides, but the largest factor is a declining lack of food habitat.

We can immediately make a difference by planting simple habitat that creates quality food sources for the Monarch in the Central New York Area.

Milkweed Flower is the #1 food source for the Monarch Butterfly. Over the years, chemical sprays and lack of planting has diminished the overall quality food sources for the Monarch thereby reducing its ability to survive and populate.

We need your help to be an Agent of Change. Your mission? Simply pick up your CODE NAME MONARCH pack and plant the seeds inside…those seeds will grow into plants that are the Monarch’s primary food source.
