The Problem

Since the 1990s, the monarch butterfly population has declined by 85 - 95% in eastern North America. In 2022, it was classified as an endangered species.

Sadly, the monarch is not alone in its plight. Many other wildlife populations are also in serious decline due to habitat loss.

How You Can Help

What we choose to plant in our landscapes matters now more than ever. A great place to start is in your own backyard.

Create a habitat for wildlife and restore balance with Michigan-native plants!
