Part of our Plant A Seed, Read ~ the 2026 Summer Reading theme.
Monarch Butterflies are the Illinois state insect and a beloved icon for those who value natural areas.
Monarch butterfly numbers are dwindling, but advocates have stepped up to grow their host plants (milkweeds). Ann Schreifels, Co-President of the Wild Ones Illinois Prairie Chapter, will present on the fascinating world of not only the butterflies, but also the evolutionary struggle that is ongoing between the insect and the host plant.
Free and open to all, but geared to teens and adults.
