Get involved and collect Common Milkweed seeds!
Milkweeds are the host plant for monarch caterpillars, making them essential for healthy monarch populations. Therefore, milkweed is critical for the survival of monarchs. Without it, they cannot complete their life cycle and their populations decline. The eradication of milkweed both in agricultural areas as well as in urban and suburban landscapes is one of the primary reasons that monarchs are in trouble today.
