With its unique waterfront location at Lake Ontario, Halton is a key landing location for endangered Monarch butterflies, as well as for many migratory bird species. 

Did you know that milkweed is the only host plant for Monarch butterflies?

The monarch butterfly population has declined by more than 80% since the 1990s.

No milkweed, no monarchs. Even a small patch of milkweeds in your schoolyards can be a lifeline for an entire species! Planting milkweed creates a whole beautiful web of life and engages students in environmental stewardship.

Oakvillegreen will share some key points of how to support monarch butterfly populations. Students will understand the role and importance of pollinators for biodiversity, food production, ecosystem services, and ecological balance.
