Grow a Butterfly—Restore a Little Wild.
For $9/month, you’ll sponsor a butterfly cohort and watch the full life cycle unfold: egg → caterpillar → chrysalis → adult. Mianna raises caterpillars in a pesticide-free environment, plants native host and nectar species, and releases healthy butterflies into local habitat. You’ll receive 2–3 updates per month with photos or short videos, plus a personalized postcard featuring your butterfly and species facts.
Your subscription supports:
• Native plants for food + habitat • Safe rearing enclosures • Community education • Pesticide-free release gardens
Why it matters:
Butterflies are pollinators and indicators of ecosystem health. Habitat loss and pesticides reduce the plants and shelter they need. Your $9 helps add native plants, protect caterpillars through vulnerable stages, and return healthy pollinators to the world—while inspiring kids (and grown-ups) with hands-on conservation.
