Monarchs travel up to 3,000 miles so they can overwinter in a warm climate -- unlike any other butterfly in the whole world. That's what makes them so fascinating.
But because of development, the plants monarchs need to reproduce and survive are disappearing.
That's where home gardeners come in.
We can create "Monarch Waystations" -- rich sources of milkweeds and nectar sources for monarchs on their way to Mexico. And now is a great time to plan and order what you need. Your Monarch Waystation will be ready for the butterflies next fall as they make their southern migration.
To find out more, just go to Monarch Watch -- a site from the University of Kansas and Kansas Biological Survey. The site has all sorts of information on monarchs and conservation.
