Stewardshi­p biologists at Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute and Parks Canada created the Butterfly Club to encourage local people to grow gardens with swamp milkweed, a non-noxious weed that is beneficial to Monarch Butterflie­s.

When they join, members have to sign an agreement that gardens will only be grown further than 20 meters from major roads (to avoid road-kill), and that pesticides and herbicides will not be used (to avoid harm to insects).
