In 2024... the collection date has changed to start in October.  And sadly in 2024... the decline of the Monarch's was very well noticed.  Please don't give up hope!  Collecting pods is just one way you can help. View this pamplet for more information about the OPHI program and yes, Wayne SWCD is involved. Please check the website for many great resources.
