Cumberland MGV Education Series: Creating Monarch and Pollinator Habitat on Private Lands Webinar

Join Hannah Mullally, from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, for an engaging presentation on how private landowners can play a vital role in monarch butterfly and pollinator conservation. This webinar will explore the fascinating lifecycle and migration journey of the monarch butterfly, along with the essential habitat components these iconic insects need to survive and thrive.

Participants will learn practical, science-based strategies for creating and managing pollinator habitat on private property, including plant selection, site preparation, and long-term maintenance. The session will also provide an overview of voluntary habitat restoration opportunities and available certification programs for landowners interested in formal recognition of their conservation efforts.

Whether you manage a small backyard, acreage, or working land, this presentation will equip you with the knowledge and tools to make a meaningful impact for monarchs and other pollinators.
