The Problem

With Move4Monarchs as our guide, we will provide a Monarch butterfly friendly environment at our school and surrounding areas. This will help to address the problem of the rapidly declining Monarch butterfly population, support other pollinators, and it will add more joy to our world. We will plant Milkweed, pollinator plants, and provide solar fountains for a fresh water source for bees and butterflies. We can also help protect Monarch caterpillars from predation by birds with protective netting to maximize chrysalis formation success. Then, the netting can be carefully removed.

Our Plan

We will plant Milkweed, pollinator plants, and provide solar fountains for a fresh water source for bees and butterflies. We will germinate more milkweed seeds to donate to our surrounding communities for planting in our home gardens. We will also contribute milkweed and pollinator plants to the retirement community across the street from our school. This way, we will serve all of the children at our school, the elderly retirees in the community near us, and the many surrounding cities where we all live. We will provide plants to many others and help to rescue the monarch population with a favorable habitat at our school.
