Pledge Summary

City of Lorain is a Lake Erie lakefront community of roughly 65,000 citizens. Since 2019, a concerned group of local volunteers has been actively working to create a "pollinator friendly" environment for monarchs and other pollinators. Lorain's "Butterfly Committee" has successfully created 14 native gardens throughout the City of Lorain to-date. We are on the monarch migration path, their first stop across Lake Erie from Canada, making Lorain an ideal refueling station for monarchs and other migratory pollinators. We pledge to continue our efforts to increase awareness of the plight of the monarch and to encourage residents within our community to join us in making Lorain a welcoming pollinator habitat.
