With its unique waterfront location at Lak e Ontario\, Halton is a key landing location for endangered Monarch butter flies\, as well as for many migratory bird species. \;
\nDid you know that milkweed is the only host plant for Monarch butterflies? The mo narch butterfly population has declined by more than 80% since the 1990s. No milkweed\, no monarchs. Even a small patch of milkweeds in your schooly ards can be a lifeline for an entire species! Planting milkweed creates a whole beautiful web of life and engages community members in environmental stewardship.
\nThis presentation will introduce participants to the role and importance of pollinators for biodiversity\, food production\, e cosystem services\, and ecological balance. Staff will also lead participa nts to the \;outdoor pollinator garden to explore the native plants.&n bsp\;
