Bring Back The Butterflies Cooperative:
My name is Braedon and I created Bring back The Butterflies Cooperative. As an avid gardener and plant enthusiast, I want to spread flowers and butterflies throughout the community. Butterflies are truly beautiful. How they go through so much adversity just to take their first flight. They are truly a sign of hope and inspiration. Unfortunately, the host plants they need to survive are no longer planted and have become fragmented throughout the area. Butterfly populations in the region have been decreasing over the years. Obviously, there are many reason for this including habitat loss, and pesticide use. This decline in population can be avoided. We need our communities to begin planting beneficial butterfly host plants in their yards. We can fight back against habitat loss and give these amazing species the chance they deserve. Let’s make sure there are butterflies in the world for generations to come. All it takes is planting one butterfly host plant in your yard. If you plant it they will come.
