Monarch butterflies undertake an incredible migration each fall, from the United States and Canada to overwintering habitats in Mexico or the west coast of California. Habitat loss along their migration routes poses a challenge for these impressive pollinators, but Rotarians can establish Monarch Waystations to provide the resources they need to sustain their migration and reproduce.
A Monarch Waystation is a place that provides monarch butterflies with the resources they need to survive and reproduce. Milkweed is the host plant for monarch larvae, and nectar plants provide energy for adults. Planting these in your existing garden or establishing them in a new space contributes to monarch conservation.
Rotarian Rich Marovich of the Winters Club can help you get a Waystation “kit” of appropriate seeds and other resources.
