Help for monarch butterflies

Posted

ELDRED, NY — Highland resident and designer Dorene Warner of W Designs displays a new monarch butterfly informational brochure that she and resident Debra Conway recently completed. Conway said she hoped the brochure would help do what has been done for the bald eagle in terms of preserving the species. She said the Upper Delaware is a flyway for annually migrating monarchs and hoped that the brochure would encourage property owners’ cultivation of milkweed, on which they feed.

She also saw public recognition of the flyway as an economic benefit for the area. The brochure was one of two done through an Upper Delaware Council technical assistance grant. The other contains common permitting questions and answers for prospective property owners and builders. Both will be available through the town, while the butterfly brochure will be more widely distributed in the valley.
