Surveys at sites in Mexico where monarch butterflies spend the winter have some encouraging news about their numbers. Mykayla Hagaman keeps an eye on those numbers at Iowa State University’s Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium.
She says efforts to increase the habitat for monarchs had helped, but there’s still work to be done.
Hagaman says reestablishing habitat is the best way to help sustain the monarch population.
Hagaman says it doesn’t take a lot of effort to help the cause.
Hagaman says you can find more information on creating monarch habitat on the ISU Extension website.
