City of Sacramento

Sacramento, CA

Kevin McCarty

Office of Mayor Kevin McCarty

Pledge Summary

Sacramento, the Golden State capital city at the confluence of two rivers in the Great Valley of California on Nisenan land is home to roughly 520,000 human residents and hundreds of native species that make California a biodiversity hotspot. Among these native species is the beloved and threatened western monarch butterfly. Mayor Kevin McCarty has signed the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge, confirming Sacramento's commitment to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators. Together with our residents, we will create more native pollinator habitat across our city.
