Public Works Department - Highway Division
Monarch Butterfly Conservation
The Beltrami County Public Works Department - Highway Division is joining organizations across the United States participating in the Nationwide Monarch Butterfly Candidate Conservation Agreement for Energy and Transportation Lands (CCAA).
The monarch butterfly is one of the most recognizable species in North America. Over the past two decades, the numbers of monarchs in North America has dropped prompting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to join state agencies, tribes and many other groups to identify threats to the monarchs and take steps to help reverse their decline.
It's not just government & tribal agencies that are involved in the effort. There are actions that Landowners can take to help the monarchs.
