Monarch Butterfly Preservation
Cedar Park is part of the Monarch butterfly's migration pattern, as they make their way from Mexico to Canada each year. If you think you have seen fewer Monarch butterflies, you are correct. The butterfly population has significantly decreased worldwide over the past two decades. Part of the problem is a loss of milkweed, the only host plant of the Monarch's caterpillars.
The City of Cedar Park is proud to participate in the National Wildlife Federation's Monarch Recovery Initiative. Find out what the City is doing to help our beautiful Monarchs and what you can do in your neighborhood and yard here.
|
|
As the City continues with our Monarch Butterfly Preservation Pledge, we will be limiting mowing in selected Parks and City-owned properties where possible. This is in an effort to avoid destroying milkweed and other nectar plants.
