Planting Day at Phon D

On Saturday, November 12, 15 volunteers and two Forest Service employees gathered at Phon D Sutton Recreation Site on the Lower Salt River to plant milkweed plants they had been growing since mid-summer. 

Now for the next year, we can use lots of help watering them!  You can access watering instructions and sign up to water on our website:

We’ll be monitoring the milkweed for signs of use by monarch butterflies, which are the reason for the plantings!
