"Seeds & Weeds" Milkweed Seed Collection

Youth Volunteers arrive and learn to collect milkweed seed pods in Porter County Chapter's Butterfly Garden. They will be taught to judge 1/3 of a plants total pods and remove them for later drying, cleaning and sharing through Pollinator Partnerships and other programs. We'll count any last Monarch caterpillars or chrysalis' we find along the way for the Journey North data portal.

This is a great way for young people to earn community service hours for NHS, Scouts or other youth/academic programs.
