Milkweed for Monarchs
In the late Fall, meadows in New England are bursting with milkweed pods, which furnish monarch caterpillars with the only food they will eat. A huge effort is underway to plant more milkweed to stop the recent decline in the monarch population.
I wrote this a while ago, but am taking the liberty to include a link for your possible review.
Best,

Wonderful article! Some of my best memories of teaching first grade for 20+ years centered around hatching monarchs in my classroom, and releasing them into my school ‘s organic garden How sad l was during the couple of years we couldn’t find eggs and caterpillars in our area. So glad they are coming back.😊
