Within range of Alberta · High opportunity
At risk in Alberta, and within range of your garden. Your yard is one of the things that brings them back.
A Monarch can only raise its young on milkweed. No milkweed, no Monarchs. It's that simple, and that fixable.
Disease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.
A bird that once nested on every farm, now threatened. Native plants feed the flying insects it catches on the wing.
It feeds entirely on flying insects. Every native flowering patch is more food in the air it hunts.
Its dusk call is going quiet. It hunts the night-flying moths that evening-primrose and milkweed raise.
A bright yellow warbler in decline. Native shrubs raise the caterpillars it feeds to its young.
A bubbling song of summer meadows, now threatened. Native grasses rebuild the habitat it raises its young in.
It perches on tall spruces and sallies out to catch flying insects. Native blooms keep its prey in the air.
