The Naperville City Council approved a resolution this week to create and enhance habitats for monarch butterflies, bees and other native pollinators, prompted by a countywide initiative by the DuPage Monarch Project to encourage towns to establish more pollinator-friendly habitat.
Lonnie Morris, who kick-started the project in 2015, coordinates the DuPage Monarch Project in collaboration with the DuPage County Forest Preserve District, River Prairie Group, the Conservation Foundation and Wild Ones DuPage.
Ben Mjolsness, Naperville's sustainability coordinator, said the resolution was a"natural fit" for the city, which already has a number of ongoing projects that create and support pollinator habitat. With Naperville's adoption of the resolution, the project has garnered support from a total of 32 municipalities and park districts. In 2022, Bloomingdale, Glen Ellyn, the Carol Stream Park District and the Itasca Park District became signatories.
"The resolution really formalized our board's initiative and commitment, and it set the stage for then subsequent grant funding and projects," Jeff Palmquist, the district's director of planning, research and grants, said."These are all valuable pieces that come together to stay committed to land stewardship and maintenance and community engagement."
