In this lesson we took a first step toward intentionally designing our campus as a habitat garden for beneficial species. We learned about the iconic North American Monarch butterfly, about the reasons for its recent population decline, and planted Milkweed on campus in order to create a Monarch way station right here at MPH, thereby linking our campus to the Monarch migration corridor.
AD is extracting seeds from a Milkweed pod.
Students are planting their seeds on the sunny hill overlooking the lower soccer field.
The next day, students are planting Milkweed along the nature trail.
Thank you to Ms. Cousins, who provided us with Milkweed pods for this experiment.
