We have the power to give the butterflies their breeding and feeding grounds back. The David Suzuki Foundation is launching the Toronto-based #Gotmilkweed campaign in April 2014, with the goal of creating a milkweed corridor right through the heart of downtown Toronto. This corridor, called the Homegrown National Park, will be located at numerous urban green spaces such as schoolyards and parks. It will encourage the return of this iconic butterfly with directly observable results, while raising public awareness of the monarch butterfly's situation.

Manitobans can take their own initiative by buying and planting milkweed from local wild plant nurseries and catalogues, and join the movement to help monarch butterflies recover from their spiraling population decline.
