Annual Milkweed Pod Collection
|
Lucas Soil & Water Conservation District is participating in the Annual Milkweed Pod Collection through the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative! Beginning September 1st, you can drop off your dry common milkweed pods to our office in Maumee. Please make sure to only harvest pods that are dry and gray or brown in color. No green pods will be accepted. Also, please store pods in paper bags or boxes as plastic encourages moisture and rot.
Milkweed is essential to the survival of the Monarch butterfly species, an important pollinator that migrates to the northern states, including Ohio, all the way from Mexico each year. The milkweed seeds collected through this campaign will be processed by OPHI partners and be used to establish new habitat for the Monarch butterfly throughout Ohio.
