Becca's efforts extend beyond planting. She also rescues butterfly eggs and caterpillars, ensuring their survival against various threats in the wild. Her proactive approach contributes to a notable increase in butterfly populations in her area over the past year.
How You Can Help
For those inspired by Becca’s work and looking to make a difference, she suggests several simple yet impactful actions. “Find out what butterflies are in your local area, and then plant their food plants and create a pollinator-friendly habitat with flowers,” she advises.
For individuals without a garden, Becca recommends creating a window box filled with nectar-rich flowers. Such small initiatives can collectively contribute to supporting butterfly species and enhancing their habitats.
