Desert Botanical Garden

Desert Botanical Garden will develop statewide conservation plans for at-risk pollinators with the Arizona Monarch Collaborative, a group of approximately eighty organizations. The project will focus on maintaining and updating the Arizona Monarch Conservation Plan and developing a new Arizona Native Pollinator Plan. Project staff and volunteers will coordinate with collaborating partners across eleven states to hold annual meetings, recruit new participants, and increase community outreach. Informed by a previous pilot program, this project will expand the sharing of resources amongst conservation professionals and outreach community science participants. Beneficiaries of the project will include conservation professionals and members of the public interested in learning more about pollinator conservation.
