The Problem
We are attracting endangered monarch butterflies back to the grounds of the Geneva Community Center by planting milkweed (Asclepias), the only food monarch caterpillars can eat.
Our Plan
Each fall, we collect wild milkweed seeds from around the county and scatter them in the unmowed grassland areas around the Geneva Community Center. Each July, during flowering, we use maps and GPS to census our plants and plan where to scatter seeds next fall. We also check for monarch caterpillars.
