Our Priority: The Mayors' Monarch Pledge
Our top advocacy project is the Mayors' Monarch Pledge, a program of the National Wildlife Federation. Cities that take the pledge commit to concrete actions that create and protect Monarch habitat — there are thirty action items and three levels of achievement.

Canyon Lake
Lake Elsinore
Menifee
Murrieta
Lisa DeForest (Pledge 3/2/23)
Temecula
Brenden Kalfus (Pledge 2/26/25)
Jessica Alexander (Discussed)

We are glad to support and partner with other environmental nonprofits, including:
