About this Monarch Project:
My 4-H project is Entomology. I have been speaking to groups of kids all year with my “Bug You for a Minute” talks about different insects but have been speaking to them most about the vulnerability of Monarchs, how to create a safe habitat and feeding ground for them, what they eat, how they migrate with Oklahoma in their path along with teaching groups of kids how to make a Wildflower seed bomb. I have been handing out bags of seeds to whoever will take them from me and asking them to plant. I provide them information about how to make the Monarch Pledge also. I won First place at the Oklahoma County 4-H Communication Contest and was asked to come to the Eastside Fresh Market this Fall, when it is time for Monarch migration to perform my speech again and to possibly provide the items to lead Fresh Market goers with making Wildflower Bombs to spread awareness and help the Monarch along. The date for this has not been set yet. I hope to possibly do something at the Oklahoma State Fair to raise awareness also. My speech is posted publicly on my mom’s Facebook page and is posted publicly. I have attached the link. Thank you for providing a way for me to practice leadership and citizenship.
