About the Program
Monarchs and milkweed need your help! Monarchs in British Columbia are in severe decline, and they need milkweed and other native plants to survive.
Milkweed for Monarchs is an interactive program where students learn about how butterflies need plants and plants need butterflies. Through planting seedlings of native plants that are an important part of the food web, students can directly participate in helping monarchs and other butterflies.
About the Community Educator
Valerie Huff loves to make connections between people, plants, and place. She has been inspired by the plants themselves and the many other creatures that depend on them. From native bees to monarch butterflies to people, we all need plants! She loves to share and inspire curiosity in students and develop awareness and appreciation of our local landscapes.
