At our June meeting, Victoria Woodhouse gave an enthusiastic
presentation on the merits of using road rights of way, hydro
corridors, and other open spaces to encourage butterfly habitats. She
mentioned that 17% of Monarch Butterflies that journey successfully to
Mexico are from Canada. The main breeding areas in Canada are southern
Ontario and southern Quebec. Victoria emphasized the importance of
Milkweed — it’s their only host plant and the only thing Monarch
caterpillars can eat. More information can be found at helpthemonarchs.ca
