We have some discouraging news from the Eastern migration of the Monarch butterfly. Surveys of the overwintering grounds found that the #butterflies
occupied less half of the forest they used last year. This year over year drop of 59% makes this the second smallest overwintered population recorded.

Still, they have rebounded before. The best way to help is to stop using herbicides, and plant milkweed and nectar plants.
