The City of Solana Beach, in cooperation with the SeaWeeders, is excited to promote National Pollinator Week from June 21st – 27th. On March 24, 2021, the City Council authorized Mayor Lesa Heebner to sign the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayors’ Monarch Pledge, which includes a list of actions a city can take to restore monarch habitat. Almost immediately following, the City, the SeaWeeders and the Climate Action Commission joined to identify and cultivate the City’s first, of hopefully many, Monarch butterfly pollinator garden at La Colonia Park.

Every day, a few more monarchs seem to flutter by. Maybe you’ve spied a monarch caterpillar chomping milkweed, or even discovered a chrysalis dangling from a fence beam.
