This week on Good News from Planet Earth, we’re celebrating the power of young people, and today’s story is buzzing with brilliance!A troop of Girl Scouts in North Carolina saw that monarch butterflies were disappearing. So they rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their shovels, and launched a Butterfly Highway - a growing network of pollinator gardens designed to help butterflies, bees, and native plants thrive.With native seeds, community planting days, and pure determination, these girls turned schools, parks, and backyards into vibrant rest stops for migrating monarchs—and they’ve already made a measurable impact.Monarch butterfly conservationPollinator garden projectsYouth-led environmental actionGirl Scout Bronze Award climate leadershipIf you believe in grassroots solutions, kid-powered change, and the magic of milkweed, this is the episode for you!This episode is narrated by Susie Valerio for Voiceover for the Planet.Sources for Further Exploration:NPR: Girl Scouts and the Butterfly HighwayNC Wildlife Federation's Butterfly Highway ProgramU.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: Monarch Butterfly ConservationSupport the showGood News from Planet Earth is brought to you by Voiceover for the Planet, proud members of 1% for the Planet.
