This website of the Florida Wildflower Foundation provides a model resolution that can be adopted by local governments to protect roadside wildflowers. The site includes step by step advice in working towards getting the resolution adopted. While the site is designed for the state of Florida, the resolution and advice are applicable to any state.
Conservation Plans/Strategies
Understanding Barriers and Incentives to Voluntary Conservation Opportunities under the ESA
This report by the Electric Power Research Institute and Environmental Policy Innovation Center helps electric power and other companies to better understand the factors that motivate companies to pursue voluntary species conservation and how to lower the barriers to voluntary conservation under the U.S Endangered Species Act (ESA).
MAFWA Mid-America Monarch Conservation Strategy
This document prepared by The Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies focuses on reversing the decline and to achieve habitat restoration and enhancement of overwintering eastern monarch population in Mexico.
Preventing or Mitigating Potential Negative Impacts of Pesticides on Pollinators Using Integrated Pest Management and Other Conservation Practices
This technical note was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. It was designed to help conservation planners prevent or mitigate pest management risks to pollinators and pollinator habitat, particularly in agriculture settings.
Texas Monarch and Native Pollinator Conservation Plan
This plan outlines actions in Texas that will contribute to monarch and overall native pollinator conservation through four broad categories: habitat conservation, education and outreach, research and monitoring, and partnerships. The plan was developed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Survey of Key Monarch Habitat Areas Along Roadways in Central and North Florida
Roadsides in North and Central Florida harbor a large number of milkweed populations important to the monarch butterfly. A total of 303 roadway locations had one or more plants of the target species. A comprehensive geo-referenced Excel spreadsheet of all populations locations and related population data was developed and submitted to the Florida Department of Transportation. Communication/dissemination and vegetation management recommendations are presented to help maximize the availability and productivity of roadside milkweed populations for monarch and pollinator conservation.
