TransitionKW TransitionKW is Transition community for KW region. We encourage citizens to become involved and empowered in creating a viable and sustainable future.

TransitionKW encourages citizens to become involved and empowered in creating a viable and sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. We seek to do this in an environmentally, socially, and economically responsible fashion. Our model, and the model of all Transition Towns, is The Transition Handbook by Rob Hopkins. His book provides a blueprint for creating a richer, more vibrant com

munity through the re-localization of all the services and resources that we need. We cannot ignore the problems of depleting fossil fuels and global warming. However, there are solutions. We aim to unite with others to share our knowledge and skills to find these solutions.

Did you know that in Ontario, you generally need special authorization from the Ministry of Natural Resources to collect, raise, or release monarch butterflies, as they are a protected species? However, the law allows individuals to keep one monarch caterpillar or butterfly at a time for personal educational purposes, such as watching it develop before releasing it.

FYI the best way to help monarchs is by planting native milkw**d and nectar plants like Joe Pye w**d, as habitat loss is one of the primary threats to monarch populations. We encourage our followers to grow native plants that support monarchs and other native butterflies, allowing them to complete their life cycle naturally outdoors.
