Each year, milkweed habitat decreases here as development expands. The number of monarchs found by my HS students declines every season. Now, I offer candy treats to elementary students to locate larvae. They collected 60 in two days. We have been tagging and releasing the Western species since 1994.
This year, we are also collecting milkweed seeds which we will plant (with landowner permission) in appropriate sites. We can't sit by and watch the numbers continually decline without making an attempt to correct the situation.
