The Problem
There is a serious lack of milkweed and native nectar flowers in our state and specific local area. Ranchers and farmers spray milkweed with herbicides and pesticides since we have knapweed, an invasive species and milkweed is toxic to livestock. Montana and Wyoming will play a crucial role for migrating monarch butterflies in the future because of climate change. We are encouraging local businesses and school to plant monarch waystations and to sell, give away and plant loads of Showy Milkweed in our community.
