Monarch Waystation Certified
Monarch waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarch butterflies to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. [ MonarchWatch.org ]
"Here in Maryland, where the Monarch population is robust, the butterflies can
be seen throughout the summer months
in small numbers and in large flights
off the coast in their autum migration...
In late summer and early fall practically
every local field or garden can boast
transient monarchs."
Rick Borchelt, The Baltimore Sun (June 26, 2016)
