Northbrook environmental group marks anniversary of helping save habitat for monarch butterflies MonarchsMilkweedandMore
From a seed of an idea, Northbrook-based Monarchs, Milkweed, and More has become a growing force for the environment.
She was who Northbrook residents would see providing the"Go Green Moment" during Northbrook Village Board meetings. Why monarchs? The colorful and delicate Monarch butterfly is Illinois' state insect and a harbinger for the health of the environment, Fish said.Fish said the eastern population of the monarch butterfly has decreased by 80%. According to the World Wildlife Fund that's due to recent climate variations and herbicides that have killed off milkweed. Monarch caterpillars eat only milkweed leaves, and the adults lay their eggs on the plant, Fish said.
The nonprofit has been involved in a host of activities in the past year, working with a slim budget to further that cause. Earlier this month, the Morton Arboretum in Lisle recognized Monarchs, Milkweed, and More as a partner in increasing the urban tree canopy.
