The Fox Valley Monarch Corridor Project is a collaboration among 12 public and private conservation organizations to create habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators. Over the next two years, forest preserve districts, park districts, township open space districts and private conservation organizations will be enhancing nearly 1,000 acres of land in the Fox Valley by growing milkweed seed, distributing seeds and plants and putting plants in the ground. Funding is being provided by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. This effort is being led by The Conservation Foundation.

A FREP Noon Network was presented on April 12, 2017 about this topic and the presentation can be found HERE.
