When was the last time you saw a monarch butterfly? I’ve seen them almost daily for the past month and this isn’t by accident.
I’ve spent the past decade passionately advocating for the monarch butterfly and her pollinator friends, sharing native milkweed seeds and seedlings, teaching classes and helping Utahns create healthy breeding habitat to keep them visiting Utah each summer. The effort and the team working on this have grown and it is paying off – but we still have much to do. The western population of monarchs had declined 99% by 2020 — over four decades. But we have milestones worth celebrating.
The eastern side of Fairmont Park has been transformed into the most spectacular native pollinator habitat — thanks to the efforts of the Salt Lake City Public Lands team, and a native plant effort that started in 2018.
