Pledge Summary

The Village of Streamwood is an established community in the northwest suburban Chicago area. Streamwood has a strong reputation for its environmental stewardship. The Village owns and manages over 400 acres of wetland, open space, and natural preserves. The community's Cultural and Environmental Awareness Commission works to sustain this reputation with community programming focused on natural resource conservancy.

The Village has received designation as a "Monarch Waystation" for its efforts in planting natural vegetation and supporting the health of monarchs and other pollinators.

Action Items Committed for 2026

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.
  • Initiate or support community science (or citizen science) efforts that help monitor monarch migration and health.
  • Launch, expand, or continue an invasive species removal program that will support the re-establishment of native habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators.
