Arizona resident challenges Monroe County, Missouri farmers to farm pawpaws in drainage areas between farm fields (gully or draw) in an effort to promote zebra swallowtail habitat and supplement erosion control.
The Full Story.
In 2019, teacher Mary McDevitt's 4th grade class civics project, led Missouri to officially adopt the pawpaw as the state "fruit tree". Tennessee recognizes the zebra swallowtail as the official "state butterfly". Santa Fe Honey bee keeper, Butch Landis, planted a forest of pawpaw and remote working Arizona resident and self-proclaimed host plant empath, Benjamin Nelson built a road side plant stand named Santa Fee Pawpaw. This is a conscious, grassroots, backyard effort to empower citizens to co-create a reality which benefits a butterfly, the zebra swallowtail.
