❤️ Help the Monarch butterfly by Collecting Milkweed Seeds

June 11, 2022 by Layne Cassidy

The University of Kansas grows seedlings to be distributed for planting next spring. Mowers are due in Erath County on June 16. Milkweed pods are ripening along road shoulders and in fields.

Check out more information at Bring Back the Monarchs.
