SWCD Milkweed Pod Collection


For the seventh year in a row, Lorain County Soil & Wa-
ter Conservation District (SWCD) will be a Common Milk-
weed pod collection center, in coordination with the Ohio
Pollinator Habitat Initiative (OPHI). This project started in
2015, and since then, volunteers from all over the state have
collected thousands of gallons of common milkweed seed
pods! The disappearance of milkweed across the U.S. has
contributed to the 80% decline of the eastern monarch but-
terfly population over the last 20 years. They are working
hard to change this, and you can help! Let’s make the col-
lection efforts in 2022 even better by following these simple
tips!
• Make sure that before you collect seed, you become
familiar with the common milkweed to avoid harvesting
pods from similar plants, such as hemp dogbane and swamp
milkweed.
• Only collect the pods when they are dry, grey, or brown.
• If the center seam pops with gentle pressure, they can
be harvested.
• Store the pods in paper bags; plastic bags collect un-
wanted moisture.
• Put the date and county collected on the bag when you

3 features to focus on

when designing an

entertainment room



It might not take a home theater to enjoy the big game with
friends or fire up family movie night, but a spacious entertain-
ment room can certainly enhance such experiences. That’s
especially true when homeowners give considerable thought
to designing entertainment rooms. Film buffs and sports fans
may have different notions of the ideal entertainment room,
but the following are three design features that merit consid-
eration by all looking to upgrade their entertainment spaces.

1. Screen
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of
options when choosing a screen for an entertainment room.
Televisions have long been a go-to choice, but projector
screens merit consideration as well. If the room will be devot-
ed exclusively to entertainment, then a television or a fixed
projector screen might be homeowners’ best bets. Fixed pro-
jector screens are installed on the wall and projectors are
typically hung from the ceiling. Semi-fixed projector screens
provide a similar viewing experience but can be pulled down
or retracted when residents are not watching a movie. Semi-
fixed can even be installed in front of a television so residents
can stream a movie on the projector and then watch televi-
sion through a cable box when it isn’t movie night. Projectors
often provide much bigger screens for a fraction of the cost
