So, what can we do to help the Monarch Butterflies? Here are a few suggestions from David Suzuki. And, of course, we can all March Against Monsanto! quote David Suzuki: What can Canadians [and Americans] do to help the monarch? GET MILKWEED: Add some native plants to your garden or balcony. Choose milkweed and other pollinator-friendly flowers that support a diversity of bugs and birds. To source milkweed, try local environmental, gardening and horticultural groups in your community. Local nurseries and garden centres may carry it — or you can encourage them to carry a selection of native flowers and shrubs. TAKE IT TO YOUR HOOD: Transform medians, roadsides, and hydro and rail corridors from pavement to pollinator-friendly, or ask your local park group or school to plant a pollinator garden. CREATE A BUTTERFLY WAY STATION: Monarch Watch can help turn yards and parks into Monarch Waystation — butterfly-welcoming stopovers. There are already almost 7,500 across North America, including more than 300 in Canada.
