HELP THE MONARCHS!

Not long ago, monarch butterflies could often be seen in Iowa. They are disappearing because of the lack of habitat and an essential food source - milkweed. YOU can help make a difference!

Most important ... PLANT MILKWEED. It is the ONLY thing that Monarch caterpillars can eat. Also plant native plants for monarchs to nectar on -- and avoid using herbicides & pesticides of any kind.

Please explore our website for resources that you can use to help make Iowa a more hospitable place for Monarchs on their way north, and on their way back to Mexico in the fall.

Since 2014 our members have raised and released 72,258 monarchs!
