The milkweed numbers on our campus are no match for the hungry, hungry monarch caterpillars. The materials for this project will immensely increase the monarch habitat on our campus, so that we can help the local population grow and thrive. The students are inspired by the direct effect they are having on the existence and presence of these creatures. They felt a direct connection to nature when they saw that, after planting just a few milkweed plants, there were almost immediately monarchs attracted to our campus. Students feel the connection even deeper now, as they see the caterpillar numbers increasing so much that our milkweed can't keep up. This project will have a far reaching effect, beyond our campus, as students take home milkweed seedlings to their various communities throughout the county. The mature flowers from the desired seed bulbs will send more seeds on the wind to sprout in various places. These seedlings will be collected and sent home with students so they can start monarch habitats in their own homes and communities, all throughout the county. Being leaders in protecting nature is empowering and teaches good environmental stewardship. Our students want to help the monarch butterfly populations so that they, and future students, can appreciate and admire the wondrous creatures that will bring calm and peace for decades to come.
