Live Monarch, a National Heritage 501(c)(3) not-for-profit foundation in the USA is distributing free milkweed seeds to help restore the Monarch butterfly’s habitat, but you’d better not plant them, City of Kawartha Lakes has mandated milkweed be destroyed on your property,or face a fine of $500.Monarch Butterfly, a species at risk, of ”Special Concern Provincially and Nationally” is threatened by the recent call for milkweed to be destroyed in the City of Kawartha Lakes, and across the province. In addition,the announcement of the City’s intention to apply the herbicide Desormone, to control weeds along roadsides, throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes, further endangers the existence of the Monarch Butterfly.
