It is quite uncertain how many monarchs will migrate to the Northeast this year. But it is important to be ready for them with plantings of marsh milkweed and butterfly weed, as well as other native flowering plants for the nectar and reproduction.

Thanks to conservation-minded owners (who qualified for and received a valuable State of MA conservation land credit, as well as tax deductions), individual donors and several grant organizations, ECF closed on this wonderful land in January 2019, which will now be protected forever from development.
