Who this garden brings back

Because SFR planted these, these named species have a place here.

Monarch ButterflyEndangeredButterfly
A Monarch can only raise its young on milkweed. No milkweed, no Monarchs. It's that simple, and that fixable.
Eastern MeadowlarkThreatenedBird
A grassland bird losing its grasslands. Native bunchgrasses bring back the insects and cover it needs.
BobolinkThreatenedBird
A bubbling song of summer meadows, now threatened. Native grasses rebuild the habitat it raises its young in.
Olive-sided FlycatcherThreatenedBird
It perches on tall spruces and sallies out to catch flying insects. Native blooms keep its prey in the air.
Yellow-banded Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
A once-common bumble bee in decline. Beebalm and columbine are among its favourites.
Eastern Wood-PeweeSpecial concernBird
Its slow 'pee-a-wee' call is heard less each year. It needs the flying insects native plants support.
Transverse Lady BeetleSpecial concernBeetle
Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.
