Milkweed Restoration at Lake Katherine Nature Center

Butterfly Milkweed Seedlings
Milkweed seedlings are growing in the greenhouse!  I stratified the seeds to help get them ready to plant. For milkweed, this basically means putting the seeds in moist sand and storing them in the fridge for about a month.  Students in my Survey course then planted the seeds, and they are taking off.

This project is part of a larger effort at Lake Katherine Nature Center, involving removing invasive species and providing native milkweeds for pollinator habitat.

    I'm a biology professor at Trinity Christian College. I'll be using this page to share interesting stories related to ecology and conservation at Trinity and in the Chicago area (although I might be tempted to expand my geographic focus upon occasion).
