The annual monarch butterfly migration from Mexico to the northern U.S. and Canada has begun, with sightings already reported in Texas. Luckily for fans of the beautiful orange and black pollinators, Richardson is in the pathway. The City has been a Mayor’s Monarch Pledge city since 2015 (a program of the National Wildlife Federation) and has established dedicated butterfly gardens in four parks—Berkner, Prairie Creek, Durham and Yale—and includes plants that attract and feed butterflies in park and landscape projects wherever feasible.
