Town of Hampton

Hampton, NB

Robert Doucet

MAYOR

Pledge Summary

Shaped by water, alive with culture, and full of entrepreneurial spirit – Hampton inspires great living. Discover our natural spaces, innovative places, and welcoming faces. Located in the centre of Southern New Brunswick, we’re part of a vibrant region that offers the best of modern living in a countryside setting. Come for a day or stay for a lifetime; you’ll see why “It’s Our Nature”. In taking the Mayor's Monarch Pledge, we look forward to working with Nature NB and engaged residents to create a welcoming habitat for the Monarch Butterfly.

Community Spotlight

Action Items Committed for 2022

Communications and Convening

  • Engage with city parks and recreation, public works, sustainability, and other relevant staff to identify opportunities to revise and maintain mowing programs and milkweed / native nectar plant planting programs.
  • 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

  • Add or maintain native milkweed and nectar-producing plants in gardens in the community.
  • Initiate or support community science (or citizen science) efforts that help monitor monarch migration and health.
  • Launch or maintain an outdoor education program(s) (e.g., at schools, after-school programs, community centers and groups) that builds awareness and creates habitat by engaging students, educators, and the community in planting native milkweed and pollinator-friendly native nectar plants (i.e., National Wildlife Federation’s Schoolyard Habitats program and Monarch Mission curriculum).
  • Plant or maintain a monarch and pollinator-friendly demonstration garden at City Hall or another prominent or culturally significant community location.
  • Host or support a native seed or plant sale, giveaway or swap.
