What are Monarch Waystations?

Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. Milkweed and nectar sources that support Monarchs are in decline due to increased development, the use of herbicides, and mowing.  

You can help by providing Monarch Way stations which include host plants and nectar sources. Guidelines for registration include having a minimum of 100 square feet in a sunny area; inclusion of at least 10 native milkweed plants, with 2 or more varieties; nectar plants; shelter; and providing ongoing maintenance,including organic practices.
