Pledge Summary

The Village of Glenview, Illinois is a northern suburb of Chicago, with a population of approximately 47,000. The residents and staff have demonstrated their commitment to monarch butterfly habitat through attending monitoring training with the Field Museum staff, creating numerous backyard and schoolyard butterfly gardens, supporting public demonstration monarch gardens, and creating a monarch plan. We look forward to continuing our efforts.

Community Spotlight

Action Items Committed for 2021

Communications and Convening

  • Launch or maintain a public communication effort to encourage residents to plant monarch gardens at their homes or in their neighborhoods. (If you have community members who speak a language other than English, we encourage you to also communicate in that language; Champion Pledges must communicate in that language.)

Program and Demonstration Gardens

  • Plant or maintain a monarch and pollinator-friendly demonstration garden at City Hall or another prominent or culturally significant community location.
  • Launch, expand, or continue an invasive species removal program that will support the re-establishment of native habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators.
