City of Morgan Hill

Morgan Hill, CA

Rich Constantine

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Morgan Hill is a city in Santa Clara County, California, at the southern tip of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a community of roughly 48,000 people that is bounded by the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west and the Diablo Range to the east. Mayor Constantine of Morgan Hill, CA has committed to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators with his signing of the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge and has already taken the first step by planting milkweed at the Morgan Hill Community Garden. He also looks forward to engaging residents by having them follow suit and plant milkweed at their own residences to build more pollinator habitat throughout the city.

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.)
  • Issue a proclamation to raise awareness about the decline of the monarch butterfly and the species’ need for habitat. This proclamation must incorporate a focus on monarch conservation.

Program and Demonstration Gardens

  • Add or maintain native milkweed and nectar-producing plants in gardens in the community.
