What can you do to ensure success not only with your garden, but with your municipality and your next door neighbors? Some are opting for the "lawn mullet" approach: business in the front, pollinator party in the back, and for good reason! Ensuring third parties are satisfied can be an undertaking. Keep the monarchs AND your neighbors happy this Earth Day with our handy guide to preventing potentially sticky situations. From "why are you growing weeds?" and "it's too tall," we've seen it all – and we're here to help. |

Get Your City Officials Involved |
|
The National Wildlife Federation's Mayors Monarch Pledge is a national effort to engage mayors (or the principal leader of any city, town, county or HOA) in monarch butterfly conservation. Mayors are committing to both restore habitat in your community and encourage your residents to do the same. Pledge participants will receive recognition by the National Wildlife Federation – a win for conservationists and local officials alike! Find out if your mayor is on board, and if they aren't already, encourage them to take the pledge using these resources. Deadline is April 30th.

Help Us Plant the Path for Pollinators! |
|
From the government and local businesses to ranchers and residents, we’ve proven successful since 2016 at bringing Oklahomans together to ensure
our landscapes and gardens support thriving monarch migrations for
generations to come. But we still have a ways to go and need your support to help save the
monarch butterfly populations from further decline.
Can we count you in?
