Create a Butterfly Garden
Habitat loss is a major contributor to the decline of monarchs and other pollinators. Monarchs need an abundant supply of milkweed to survive. Help by planting native milkweed and nectar plants, which also benefit other pollinators like bees and butterflies. Choosing native plants encourages butterflies to lay eggs and create new generations.
Participate in community science
Community Science, or “citizen science,” allows everyone to contribute meaningful data to further scientific understanding. By engaging community members, researchers can collect more data across wider geographic areas. This data informs larger conservation efforts and helps participants learn more about species of interest.
Advocate
Make your voice heard by contacting federal, state, and local elected leaders to advocate for monarch conservation.
Education and Sharing Resources
Learn about monarch biology and conservation by exploring online resources, consulting with regional experts, or joining a monitoring program. Share your knowledge and enthusiasm to inspire others to appreciate and protect these incredible insects.
