Saving the Monarchy: One Milkweed at a Time
Age Range: Adult
Dates: Thursday, February 25 2021 from 6:00PM – 7:30PM
Cost: Free
When was the last time you saw a monarch butterfly? How about a milkweed plant? Join us as we discuss the symbiotic relationship of these two species and learn how we can help the threatened monarch butterfly population survive and reproduce. In this one hour webinar class, students will learn from a local “citizen scientist” about the state of the monarch butterfly, their lifecycle and migration, and why milkweed is so critical. Learn how to propagate and grow drought-tolerant, native milkweed to attract monarch butterflies back to the community. You will also learn how to get involved as a “citizen scientist” and monitor breeding habitat or tag monarchs during the migration season.
Instructions: Registration for this event begins January 25th. A link to the Webinar will be sent to all those who register. Register at https://conservationgardenpark.org/events/1394/saving-the-monarchy-one-milkweed-at-a-time.
