Milkweed Pod Collection
September 1 - October 30, 2020
Milkweed is essential to the survival of Monarch Butterflies in Ohio and Ohio is a priority area for Monarchs. The monarch butterflies that hatch here in the summer migrate to Mexico for the winter and are responsible for starting the life cycle all over again in the spring. During September - October everyone is encouraged to collect Milkweed Pods from established plants and drop them off at the Van Wert SWCD. To collect the seed pods from a milkweed plant it is best to pick them when they are dry, gray, or brown in color. If the center seams pop with gentle pressure, they can be picked. It is best to collect pods into paper bags or paper grocery sacks. Mark the sack, the county it came from, date/time and if other than common milkweed; which species of milkweed was collected. Avoid using plastic bags and store the seeds in a cool, dry area until you can deliver to the Van Wert SWCD. The collection will take place between September 1 - October 30, 2020. There will be a collection container located outside of our office.
