Pledge Summary

Located along six miles of Pacific Ocean coastline in northern San Diego County, Encinitas is home to approximately 60,000 residents and is characterized by coastal beaches, cliffs, flat-topped coastal areas, steep mesa bluffs and rolling hills. The City of Encinitas Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department is supporting the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge by planting native milkweed “Asclepius fascicularis” in various locations throughout the City. The Department has also created a pollinator garden at Hawk View Park and plans to install another pollinator garden at Encinitas Community Park. Mayor Catherine Blakespear has committed to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators with her signing of the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge Pledge and looks forward to engaging residents in building more habitat throughout the city.
