Pick up a free packet of milkweed seeds today!
From the Chicago Tribune:
In the last 25 years, monarchsโ populations have plunged by the hundreds of millions, according to the wildlife serviceโs species status assessment report. The black and orange butterflies have to contend with insecticides, loss of milkweed โ the plant monarchs lay eggs on and the caterpillarsโ sole food source โ and habitat loss. Theyโre also up against human-induced climate change and weather extremes.
