Time has come once more for our annual Milkweed Pod Collection! We have partnered again with the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative in efforts to support the Monarch butterfly. This year the mission is more critical than ever, as the Monarch was declared an endangered species in July. A large part of the species' decline is due to decrease in Milkweed plant populations, as Monarch caterpillars cannot survive without Milkweed. You can help by gathering Milkweed pods this fall, and donating them from September 1st through November 15th. A pod that is ready to be donated should be dry, gray to brown in color, and placed in a brown paper bag labeled with the date and county name. Green pods that still have white sap inside are not yet ready for harvest.
Cooperators giving seeds may drop them off at the collection bin conveniently located in the District office lobby, which is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pods collected through this program will be distributed for plantings across the state, and will also be available for local pick-up. Those interested in receiving Milkweed seeds may stop inside the office to receive packets free of charge. We appreciate your contributions for this important conservation mission!
