    *We team up with Marathon Co Highway Dept and select certain patches of milkweed to flag in order to prevent it being mowed.

    The milkweed patches between the flags are gently stripped of caterpillars and eggs that are then brought back to the butterfly gardens where they are placed in pest safe enclosures until they are ready to be released as a butterfly.
