This program discussed the critical importance of milkweed in Monarch habitat and food source. Participants will learn about the Monarchs’ conservation challenges and how they can help by planting milkweed in their own backyards. We will also discuss the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project, which is a long-term study of the distribution, breeding and mortality rates of monarch butterflies have gone in steep decline. Participants learn how this Citizen Science project engages people in observing and studying the milkweed habitat and identify all life stages of the Monarch butterfly in the field. This program is offered free of cost thanks to generous support from the Fox Chapel Garden Club.
