Area Students Starting Milkweed Plants

Students at Mason City High School (Mrs. Golnick) and West Fork Middle School (Mr. Weber) have been busy growing swamp and common milkweed plants from seed for our Monarch Mania program. The students have been transplanting the started plants into individual plugs so they will establish a strong root system and be ready for transplanting. Thank you to Mrs. Golnick, Mr. Weber, and all of the students for your hard work! The milkweeds will be planted at various pollinator gardens in North Iowa.
