Essay

As a member of your school's environmental science club, you are concerned about the widespread loss of wildlife habitat and the corresponding population declines of pollinators such as monarch butterflies. You learn that monarch butterflies are found throughout North America and pollinate many types of wildflowers. Monarchs require milkweed to lay their eggs, and the loss of milkweed plants has contributed to steep declines in monarch populations. Milkweed seeds are inexpensive and can be purchased in bulk. Develop an action plan to raise awareness and create habitat at your school and surrounding community. Don't forget that creativity increases engagement and participation.
