This field is part of Monocacy Hill Recreation Area and is slightly over one half acre in size. There was already a nice variety of native plants growing there, but we wanted to enhance the habitat and grow plants that would be good host and food sources for pollinators. To our delight we had many insect species visiting our field this year, including Monarch butterflies, skippers, fritillaries!\u00a0 Thanks to our dedicated volunteers who have helped with all phases of this project.<\/p>\n<style>\/*! elementor - v3.6.5 - 27-04-2022 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monarchsign-300x262.jpg\" alt=\"Monarch Waystation Sign\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monarchsign-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monarchsign-1024x895.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monarchsign-768x671.jpg 768w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monarchsign.jpg 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>The Following Photos Show The Progress Of The Project Throughout The First Year<\/h2>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/field3april2015.jpg\" alt=\"The field is mowed once a year in spring to suppress the woody vegetation.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/field3april2015.jpg 320w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/field3april2015-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>The field is mowed once a year in spring to suppress the woody vegetation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Linda-1.jpg\" alt=\"Over 500 seedlings were planted throughout the summer.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Linda-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Linda-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Over 500 seedlings were planted throughout the summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/seedlings.jpg\" alt=\"20 different types of seeds were donated by Mike and Jan Slater and nurtured as seedlings for a few months before planting.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/seedlings.jpg 640w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/seedlings-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>20 different types of seeds were donated by Mike and Jan Slater and nurtured as seedlings for a few months before planting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AnnMarieandVal.jpg\" alt=\"Watering in August\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AnnMarieandVal.jpg 640w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AnnMarieandVal-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Watering the seedlings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/rototilling.jpg\" alt=\"In June rototilling was done in 5 planting areas.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/rototilling.jpg 640w, https:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/rototilling-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption> In June rototilling was done in 5 planting areas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"594\" src=\"http:\/\/monocacyhill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sign.jpg\" alt=\"You are welcome to walk through the field and see the native plants and their insect visitors.
