Meet Maine’s Johnny Appleseed of Milkweed. Since last summer, Bushey, now in his mid-60s, has had boots on the ground, mapping, harvesting, planting, and protecting milkweed—the required plant host and meal of choice for monarch butterfly larvae—in hopes of saving these vital insects, one seed at a time.

With two needles and diamond awl, which he sharpens himself, Peter Dorman sews together a shoe’s toe box using a single waxed thread.
