Monarch Butterfly Habitat In The Rocky Ridge Neighborhood

[jay]

I've noticed that the Monarchs are migrating through Youngstown already.

I checked the milkweed patch today.  There were many insects feeding on the milkweed's flowers.  I did not notice any Monarchs during this visit.

The RRNA now has a second monarch butterfly habitat area.

Have any photos of the habitat they built? The Monarch Butterfly's are incredable creatures. If everyone were to plant some milkweed in their yard that would be great for these butterflys.

A few members of the Rocky Ridge Neighborhood Association have established a Monarch Butterfly habitat.   The Monarch Butterfly population has seen a dramatic decrease in recent years.
