Monarch butterflies support the health of the planet and help maintain ecological balance.

We depend on pollinators for healthy ecosystems and food production — and they need our help. One big need is more habitat. The Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund was founded to create pollinator habitat at schools, provide resources to engage students in learning about pollinators, and create a community around those efforts.
