Missouri Master Naturalists and Platte Land Trust were awarded a Platte County Parks & Recreation grant to establish a pilot roadside butterfly garden along the Southern Platte Pass Trail in Parkville.
The butterfly garden will support Monarch and other butterflies, bees, and song birds with food and shelter. Milkweed and other native plants were selected for their benefits to wildlife during the growing season, especially spring and fall Monarch butterfly migrations.
