Project Wingspan provides a one-stop resource for helping YOU to make a positive difference in the lives of pollinators locally and regionally.
Increase your awareness of monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) management in Canada, as well as how YOU can make a positive difference locally and regionally. Here we focus on building knowledge of plants important to the monarch, including correctly identifying them in the field, and how to collect seed using best management practices.
Our resource and learning hub will teach you about the basics of Monarch butterfly biology, and help you learn to:
- Identify a selection of plants important to the monarch and other pollinators
- Correctly collect the seeds of these plants using best management practices
- Grow and distribute your own native plants
- Be part of a partner network of seed collectors, growers, and habitat enthusiasts!
