One careless cut one spray of chemicals could mean the difference between survival and collapse for these fragile travelers. How you can help: Leave late bloomers standing asters, goldenrod, coneflowers, sunflowers, zinnias. Skip the deadheading & cutting back seed heads feed birds, nectar feeds butterflies. Avoid pesticides & sprays they poison monarchs and their wild allies. Plant milkweed & fall nectar flowers the fuel monarchs need to reach Mexico.
