It begins with love.
Youth can do mighty things, when we believe in them and foster a love for the natural world. Amigos for Monarchs is led by Liam the Lepidopterist, 10.
Follow Amigos for Monarchs on Facebook to learn how to join in Liam’s effort to save the monarchs.
In the project's first two years, Liam shared more than 200 milkweed seed kits with friends, family and perfect strangers to help start monarch-friendly gardens within that period. In 2021, the project's third year alone, over 800 milkweed seed kits were distributed. Liam surpassed his goal of sending 500 kits early that year and a tremendous growth in requests followed in the subsequent years as thousands of requests came in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, more than 5,000 requests were received and continue to be filled.
