2022 Milkweed Pod Collection
Hancock SWCD would like to thank all the Hancock County residents that collected Milkweed Pods for the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative. We collected approximately 110 gallons of pods this year! These pods will be sent for processing and the seed will be used planting new habitat for Monarch Butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. If you would like more information on starting your own pollinator planting or the pod collection please visit the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative website or Hancock SWCD at 419-422-6569 ext. 105.
