Scientists and transport officials in Florida have planted 15,000 milkweed plants along state roadsides as part of a conservation initiative for monarch butterflies. Milkweed is the sole plant on which monarchs lay their eggs, making it critical to their survival and reproduction. The effort aims to create a 10,200-acre roadside corridor that could serve as a long-term wildlife habitat across Florida. Beyond monarchs, the project is also expected to benefit bees and other pollinator species. Authorities are using the initiative to assess whether roadside land can be sustainably repurposed as wildlife corridors statewide.
