Monarch Butterflies Bounce Back: Plant Milkweed
Description
Western monarch butterflies, once numbering over two hundred thousand, have seen a significant decline due to climate change, habitat loss, and pesticides. However, TreePeople is combating this issue by planting milkweed plants across the Angeles National Forest and Santa Monica Mountains. The initiative has shown progress, with over twelve thousand monarchs counted in 2025. The project has also attracted volunteers who are thrilled to see baby caterpillars thriving on the new plants. TreePeople is hosting a Pollinator Palooza on April 25, 2026, where volunteers can plant the last three hundred seedlings and take some home for their yards.
