Community and K12 Outreach
2025 K12
collaborations
In 2025, we collaborated with 7 K12 educators across the state of SD to plant milkweed gardens at their schools! We planted the two parental milkweed species (Asclepias speciosa and Asclepias syriaca) and plan to track survival over the next few years. Many of these educators will also be using these plants with their curriculum and student projects.
If you are interested in working with us to plant a milkweed garden (especially if you are in an area that hasn't been planted on the map) or implementing some newly developed curriculum, please share your contact information with us at the bottom of this page!

iNaturalist is a wonderful tool for community members to help aid in research projects around the world! We use iNaturalist to find locations of milkweed and to increase our seed stock for our lab. We are so thankful to all of the members that have helped aid our research!
