Within range of New Brunswick · High opportunity
At risk in New Brunswick, 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.
The bees it relies on need these same native blooms. Plant for one, and you feed both.
Disease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.
Its flute-like song is fading from our woods. Native shrubs raise the caterpillars it needs to feed its chicks.
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.
It catches every meal on the wing. Native plants sustain the insects it lives on.
Its dusk call is going quiet. It hunts the night-flying moths that evening-primrose and milkweed raise.
