DULUTH, Minn. – With the recent heatwave, more butterflies and insects are returning to the Northland a little earlier than normal.
On Saturday, June 12, Northland residents are welcome to stop by the Coppertop Church in Duluth. A pollinator marketplace is being offered by the Duluth Monarch Buddies.
The event will run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., featuring milkweed and other plants from Shoreview Natives, educational programming, and more.
“In the last 20 years, the decline across the United States has been very rapid. A lot of those pollinator plants, mainly milkweed, has declined along the highways going from Minnesota all the way down through the heartland and into Mexico,” said Amy Westbrook, a member of Duluth Monarch Buddies.
