National Fish and Wildlife Foundation invites applications for Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund

Objectives: The Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund aims to enhance habitat quality, quantity, and connectivity for monarch butterflies and native insect pollinators. The strategy involves restoring and enhancing habitats with regionally appropriate milkweed and nectar plants, and boosting native seed supply to ensure sustainability and affordability. Objectives include a focus on technical assistance for private land management and improving interconnected habitats for pollinators. Special emphasis is placed on benefiting at-risk species like the rusty patched bumble bee and Franklin’s bumble bee.
