Native Plant-Pollinator Gardens on the Allegheny National Forest Title text here 2010 Accomplishments The Allegheny National Forest Native Plant Program activities in FY2010 focused on expansion and enhancement of the Marienville Ranger District Office NPP garden. Work included removing approximately 1 acre of turf grass (Figure 2 and 3) and non-native invasive plant species and planting 35 different native plant species for a total of 540 plants. Herbaceous plant species included 30 butterfly weed (Asclepiastuberosa) and 40 swamp milkweed (Asclepiasincarnata) plants for monarch butterflies. Next steps include completing a “What’s Happening Here Sign”, installing the Monarch Migration sign and registering site as a Monarch Way Station. Figure 2.
