The monarch is in trouble. Help us save our disappearing butterflies.
Saving Our Monarchs. One Milkweed at a Time.
Why Support the Save Our Monarchs Foundation?
The monarch butterfly is in trouble. Their numbers are down 90% of what they were in 1992. And the milkweed plant population, which is indispensable to the monarch, is also down 90%.
Milkweed plants are the only source of food for the monarch caterpillar. But these plants are rapidly disappearing, due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live.
We want to promote the recovery of the monarch population now. One milkweed at a time. The Save Our Monarchs Foundation is solely dedicated to saving the monarch butterfly by planting more milkweed.
Please join us in helping save the monarch butterfly!

Who We Are
Save Our Monarchs is a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to saving the embattled monarch butterflies.
We are gardeners who believe that getting dirt under our fingernails and planting milkweed seeds – the monarch caterpillar's only source of sustenance – is the best way to save the endangered butterflies. One Milkweed at a Time. . . How do we propose saving our monarch butterflies? It’s simple, really. We're distributing Asclepius syriaca seeds to anyone who will join us in our mission. The best way to help the monarch butterfly is to rebuild their habitat and give them the food they need to survive. GET YOUR SEEDS NOW! Photos From Our Friends!Got Extra Seeds?
We receive lots of emails from monarch enthusiasts wanting to donate extra seeds from their own plantings. We are more than happy to accept cleaned seeds for redistribution, provided you include details about species and origin.
You can mail them to us at: Save Our Monarchs Foundation PO Box 390135 Minneapolis, MN 55439 Follow Us on Facebook! |
