Town of Lamoine

Lamoine, ME

Larissa Thomas

Select Board Member and Conservation Commission Chair

Pledge Summary

Lamoine is a town of approximately 1,800 on the coast of Maine. The Lamoine Select Board first voted in December 2022 to sign the Mayors' Monarch Pledge, authorizing the town's Conservation Commission to lead a number of efforts to create more monarch butterfly and other pollinator habitat throughout the town. Our efforts have seen a great deal of success over the past two years. A number of projects are ongoing and new initiatives are planned for 2025.

Action Items Committed for 2025

Communications and Convening ▸

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.
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.)

Host or support a native seed or plant sale, giveaway or swap.
Facilitate or support a milkweed seed collection and propagation effort.
