Certify Your Garden as a Monarch Waystation

Lets help monarch butterflies and increase the number of waystations as part of the Du Page Monarch Project! 

To certify your garden as a waystation, go to http://www.monarchwatch.org/waystations/certify.html and fill out the application. Many of us already have milkweed and pollinator plants, and meet the qualifications.

You can also certify your garden as a Pollinator Garden. You can read about that on the Xerces website https://xerces.org/pollinatorhabitatsign/

The Pierce Downer Heritage Alliance will be holding its fall public meeting, featuring Kim White to talk about Monarch butterflies and the DuPage Monarch Project, on October 19, 7:00 PM, Room 503 at the Lincoln Center. The title of the talk will be Mysteries of the Monarch. All are welcome to attend!
