GCC Green Guides: Monarch Action
GCC Green Guides: Monarch Action
We are proud to be part of this effort!
The Monarch Butterfly is in trouble.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is evaluating the status of the monarch butterfly for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Faced with the possibility of extinction of this beloved species, communities locally and nationally are mobilizing to increase monarch habitat.
Thats where you come in.
We can help save the monarch by providing pockets of habitat in every park, school, congregation and yard, whether large or small. And by meeting the monarchs needs, we will also be helping save many other pollinators that are also endangered.
Urban & suburban areas are the monarchs best hope for survival.
To build awareness and commitment a group of partners are launching an Oak Park & River Forest area campaign to engage the community in this important work.
