<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Free milkweeds for habitat restoration projects</b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Monarch Watch will once again be distributing free milkweeds for planting in large-scale habitat restoration projects for Spring 2024. Since this program began in 2015, 840,000 milkweeds have been planted in restored habitat throughout
much of the monarch breeding range. To qualify, applicants must have a minimum of two acres (one acre or less in California) to restore to natural, native habitat, and have a management plan in place. Milkweeds are awarded on a first come, first served basis,
so apply early. Those awarded free milkweeds need only pay shipping/handling, which is modest compared to the value of the plants. For more information and to apply, please visit: <a href="https://albertawilderness.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d32dee74e9b17a2745430f0ac&id=db5ce3e619&e=35741d7511" title="https://AlbertaWilderness.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d32dee74e9b17a2745430f0ac&id=db5ce3e619&e=35741d7511" target="_blank">Monarch

Butterfly gardens are a great educational tool! Schools and educational nonprofits may apply for a free flat of native milkweeds for a public garden. Single flats of 32 plants (58 for Texas) will be distributed to recipients in the spring. The application can
