🤠🦋 Giddy up monarch fans! It’s time to lasso your sidekicks and come party with us! Our great state is getting a new roadmap for monarch and pollinator conservation in Oklahoma. Join us as we kickoff and celebrate a new version of Oklahoma’s Monarch Conservation Action Plan!

What is the Action Plan? We thought you’d never ask! It’s our north star, our strategic plan designed to help save the monarchs from further decline and was developed by the Oklahoma Monarch and Pollinator Collaborative (one of our shining star programs) in collaboration with more than 60 amazing partners over the past two years. The Action Plan will create more resources for the public, more pollinator conservation partnerships and result in more high-quality monarch habitat throughout the state. Yeehaw!

This is such a big deal that we are celebrating not just once, but twice! We are bringing the party to OKC at Anthem Brewing Company on August 23 and then to Tulsa at Heirloom Rustic Ales on August 30.

More than 100 passionate pollinator enthusiasts have invested their time and energy into developing this strategic plan and we want to celebrate their hard work, commemorate the launch and celebrate the future successes to come from its multi-year collaborative implementation.

🎉 This party will bring the new Action Plan to life with opportunities for all ages to connect, learn, and have fun.
