Help Save the Butterflies
     The White House is creating a 1,500 mile "Butterfly Corridor" to help Monarchs get from Mexico to Minnesota!
This ambitious federal plan calls for a billion milkweed plants along a Minnesota-to-Texas corridor traveled by butterflies. It's going to be difficult to get enough milkweed needed for the project, nevertheless, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the USDA, and conservation groups across the country are planning pollinator-friendly habitats.
