The Problem
Our School\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Green Club is trying to increase the wildlife in our suburban area. We have planted a Native Wildlife Garden to provide food and shelter to birds, bees and other pollinators. Last year we planted one milkweed to try to attract Monarch butterflies. This year we had a dozen milkweeds grow and saw over 30 Monarch caterpillars and more than 20 Monarch butterflies. We would like to start a project to plant a garden just for the Monarchs by transplanting the milkweed to another, larger area and to add more wildflowers for food for the butterflies. In this way, we would like to help increase the number of Monarch butterflies in our area as well as those that can migrate to Mexico over the winter.
