Darke SWCD
Helping the Monarch
Butterfly
Darke Soil and Water Conservation District is again collecting common
milkweed pods in an effort to help the declining Monarch Butterfly
population. The milkweed plant is vital to the survival of the Monarch
Butterfly. Collected pods are cleaned and the seed is re-distributed
across the state of Ohio for planting in 2019. Please make sure that
collected pods are brown or gray, brittle and ready to open. A
collection bin is located on the south side of the Darke SWCD office.
Please place collected pods in paper bags and write the collection date
on the outside. Collected pods can be dropped off during business hours
or placed directly in the bin after business hours. The bin will be
available until October 31st.
If you have any questions, please call the Darke SWCD office at
937-548-1715 ext. 3. Additional information can be found at our website
at www.darkeswcd.com, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
