Monarch butterflies are a beloved and iconic species in Canada, known for their vibrant orange and black wings. However, Monarch populations have been declining in recent years, largely due to the decline of Milkweed plants, which are essential for their survival. But you can help by ordering your free Milkweed Seed Package and planting it. That’s why the Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy Inc. launched a new campaign in Canada to Save the Monarchs by Planting Milkweed Seed – here’s everything you need to know.
How to order a free Milkweed Seed Package?
This campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of Milkweed plants for Monarch butterflies and encourage Canadians to take action by planting Milkweed seeds in their own gardens, parks, and public spaces. So can you help? If so, to request your free Milkweed Seed package simply visit the campaign’s website by clicking here. Then provide your details and follow the instructions to receive it in the mail.
The package is available to all Canadian residents, and there is no cost to participate.
The package includes a variety of Milkweed seeds that are native to Canada and suitable for different growing conditions, as well as instructions for planting and caring for the seeds.
By planting Milkweed seeds, Canadians can help create new habitats for Monarch butterflies and support their populations. Milkweed plants are the only food source for Monarch caterpillars. Besides, they also provide a safe and sheltered environment for butterflies to lay their eggs and complete their life cycle.
