In July, the IUCN officially listed the migratory monarch butterfly endangered, threatened by habitat destruction and climate change. Waystations are a beautiful way to enhance your yard with stunning plants that provide the exact type of food and shelter for monarchs and other native pollinators. More than 90% of land in Illinois is privately held, so landowners like YOU can make a big impact!
