Conserve
Conservation by definition is the careful preservation and protection of something, especially planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction, or neglect.
​
Monarch butterflies are facing rapidly declining populations due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and the disappearance of native milkweed. Their survival depends on the choices we make now in our gardens, our schools, our communities, and our conversations.
Protecting what we love and conserving it for future generations takes time, money and effort, but we can do it if we act now and work together...
Below are some simple steps you can follow to help conserve our natural world for years to come, not just for us, but for the species we're working to protect.
