Operation Pollination Mahoning Valley supports the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative, in cooperation with Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Districts, in helping to create habitat for the monarch butterfly.
Beginning September 1st and ending October 30th, there will be a Statewide Milkweed Pod Collection.
Please follow the link to read more about how to know when a milkweed pod is ready to be picked and the Three P’s required in creating your own pollinator site.
Once your seed pods are collected in paper bags, Mahoning Soil and Water Conservation District will be happy to accept the harvested pods.
If you don’t know where to find Milkweed pods and would like to partner with someone to collect, contact yorotaryoperationpollination@gmail.com.
