Schoolyard provides habitat and learning opportunities!

St. Joseph Catholic School in Columbia created a Schoolyard Habitat in 2022, and it is still thriving! Nectar plants attract butterflies and other pollinators, and milkweed provides critical habitat for Monarch butterflies. The students get to see the whole Monarch life cycle, right in their own schoolyard!
