The Problem
We noticed in our study of habitats that the honey bee and monarch butterfly populations are declining. We also noticed that we are on the migratory path of the monarch butterfly from Mexico to the Northern United states. We want to provide milkweed and other plants along their path so the female can lay her eggs in Spring, and have milkweed to feed off of when they fly to Mexico in the end of Summer. We wish to create a habitat for monarch butterflies as part of our school garden, planting milkweed and other plants for butterflies to gather nectar.
