The life cycle of the Monarch butterfly requires an amazing and unique journey, spanning North America from southern Mexico to the provinces of Canada.  Extreme weather conditions, land development and modern agricultural practices have significantly impacted this journey which is vital for the sustaining the life of the Monarch butterfly.  Learn about the work of Monarch Watch and how we can make a difference in our backyards by planting milkweed to accommodate the nutrition and life cycle requirements of the iconic Monarch butterfly.
