Loading...
Summary
Mayor Jane Houston proclaimed October 2025 as Monarch Butterfly Month under the National Wildlife Federation mayoral pledge program; the Discovery Center invited residents to Monarch Fest and to pick up one free milkweed per household at an Oct. 11 plant sale.
Mayor Jane Houston proclaimed October 2025 as Monarch Butterfly Month and noted San Marcos’s participation in the National Wildlife Federation Mayoral Monarch Pledge Program and the city’s commitment to restoring monarch habitat.
A Discovery Center representative said San Marcos is on the monarch migration route and encouraged residents to attend Monarch Fest and a fall native plant sale on Oct. 11. The center plans a milkweed giveaway—“one free milkweed per household,” the speaker said—to help residents create monarch habitat and support fall migration.
The proclamation and the Discovery Center’s outreach emphasize native-plant restoration and resident involvement; the city’s prior pledge and recent champion-city status were cited as context for the month’s events.
The city did not record any formal action during this proclamation; organizers encouraged participation at the festival and plant sale.
