Description: Join the Hinsdale Monarch Project and help us make a difference for monarchs and restore their natural habitat by planting milkweed and nectar plants .
By offering ways to experience the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, we hope to encourage others in our community to join the Hinsdale Monarch Project in promoting awareness and supporting the restoration of natural habitats. Even small efforts like backyard pollinator gardens help make a difference!

Monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on the leaves of milkweed, the only host plant for this iconic butterfly species. As such, milkweed is critical for the survival of monarchs. Without it, they cannot complete their lifecycle and the monarch population risk decline.
