Our Mission

We are organized for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes, with a mission centered on conserving and restoring Monarch and Passion Fruit butterfly habitats along the North Carolina Intracoastal Waterway.

Monarch and Passion Fruit butterflies rely on specific host plants like milkweed and passionflower to reproduce and survive. Protecting and restoring these plants directly supports their life cycle and long-term survival.
