The purpose of this toolkit is to support interested applicants and enrolled partners participating in the Nationwide Monarch Butterfly Candidate Conservation Agreement for Energy and Transportation Lands (CCAA).
The tools and guidelines linked here were developed to aid organizations in consistent and effective implementation of the CCAA. This toolkit also provides a place to find best practices and other resources developed collaboratively or sourced from across the CCAA partner network.
Liability for the implementation of the CCAA, or any use made of these implementation resources by its partners, is the sole responsibility of the partner itself. None of the authors, contributors, administrators, or anyone else connected with the CCAA, in any way whatsoever, can be responsible for your use of the information contained in or linked in these resources.
Assessment Tools
The Pollinator Scorecard and Management Module was developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group to evaluate pollinator habitat and management practices on rights-of-way and other energy and transportation lands. The User’s Guide provides background information and protocols for using the Pollinator Scorecard and Management Module.
Assessment Tools
The Tier 1 datasheet is a high-level assessment developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group, which can be quickly used to determine if pollinator habitat is present. It is intended to be used by anyone, with minimal training or plant identification skills required. Use with the Pollinator Scorecard User’s Guide.

Assessment Tools
The Tier 2 datasheet, developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group, can be used to generally assess habitat quality. It can be used by most assessors but some skill level is required to identify percent plant cover, flowering plants in bloom, habitat resources, and management threats and opportunities. Use with the Pollinator Scorecard User’s Guide.
Assessment Tools
The Tier 3 datasheet, developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working group, provides a more detailed assessment of habitat quality. It is intended for advanced users who are able to identify most plants to species level. Use with the Pollinator Scorecard User’s Guide.
Assessment Tools
The Pollinator Scorecard Management Module is used to evaluate the suitability of management activities for pollinator habitat on each plot or site. This tool provides valuable information to consider alongside the habitat quality ratings.
