About this Webinar:
Monarchs are one of the main focuses of the Stewards of Saskatchewan Banner
Program, a voluntary habitat stewardship program that works with landowners to
conserve habitat and monitor species-at-risk. The Monarch has been one of the
primary focal species for the 2023 field season with the launching of our new
Milkweed Monitoring pilot project. This project aims to fill knowledge gaps of
milkweed patch structure and use by monarchs within their prairie range, as well
as to generate new interest and sighting reports by the public. In this presentation
learn how to ID a Monarch, about their life cycle, how to ID native Milkweeds,
the importance of Milkweed and other nectaring species, and how you can help
support this species and other pollinators!
