Join NPSOT-Wilco’s online chapter meeting on Thursday, August 13, 2020, at 7:00 pm, when guest speaker Carol Clark will present “Native Plants Star in Monarch Waystations and the BBMT (Bring Back the Monarchs to Texas) Plays a Part.” You must register in advance to attend the meeting. Details are provided later in this post.
Carol’s presentation includes an explanation of NPSOT’s Bring Back the Monarchs to Texas committee and its garden grant program, and illuminates some of the highlights and pitfalls of past grant applications. We’ll also learn how Monarchs depend on native plants for their breeding and migration success, why planting for Monarchs is urgent, and the key features of a good Monarch waystation. Then, we’ll have a look at beautiful Texas natives you can plant to provide for Monarchs.
