Monarch Butterflies:
Migration and Milkweed

Monarch Butterflies are fascinating creatures. Mary Schmidt from Lichterman Nature Center in Memphis, Tennessee explains how monarchs migrate both on the east and west coasts of the United States. She talks about the effect of milkweed on that migration and what humans can do in their backyards to help sustain the butterfly population and help them on their long yearly journey.
