Monarchs are using our milkweed food plot!

On June 15 Cub Scouts from Pack 4153 planted 240 swamp milkweed plants at the Lime Creek Conservation Area in a plot just north of our butterfly garden north of the parking lot. This “monarch waystation” will provide food for monarch caterpillars and seed for future plantings. Today we found our first caterpillar munching on milkweed in the plot (picture). Thank you Pack 4153 Cub Scouts!
