About the event

Eastern North American monarch butterfly populations have declined significantly.  Many factors contribute to this decline, however, the  loss of milkweed, the monarch's host plant, is generally considered to be a significant cause. Restoring breeding habitat in the U.S., including milkweed and nectar sources, is an actionable step toward population recovery. Dr. Kelsey Fisher from the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station will be here to give us information designed to equip us to establish monarch butterfly habitats in our own spaces. Each attendee will also be going home with native milkweed seeds to help jumpstart our efforts in helping the monarchs!
