How can you Help?

Big Steps

• Help save grasslands (where milkweed typically grows).

• Support the creation of Highway Habitat Corridors

• Create monarch butterfly habitats/station for them to lay eggs and eat.

What we can do now

• Learn more about monarch butterflies specific to your area and their needs.

• Plant milkweed that is native to your area. The only native milkweed to Southern California is Narrow-Leaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis).

• Do NOT plant tropical milkweeds (e.g. Asclepias Curassavica), which are not native to Southern California!

• Plant flowers to attract monarch butterflies to your garden.

• Do not use insecticides or pesticides in your garden

• Spread the word to your friends and family about how they can help monarch butterflies!

• Contribute to organizations that are actively working to help monarch butterflies
