Colleagues,
This weeks ‘Video Monday Habitat Tip’ provides a look at the life history of the iconic Monarch Butterfly. The Monarch is a species that relates well to everyone from young children to the mature generations, but there isn’t always a strong connection to the fact that well designed wildlife habitat projects will benefit this species and many more.
This tip is designed to outline how properly designed habitat projects will benefit a wide range of wildlife species that can include Monarch Butterflies, Honey Bees, Pheasants, Quail, Grassland Songbirds and many other species. Considering all of these species when designing a habitat project seeding mix or planning future management activities will produce the best results for many years to come.
