Resolution commends Tennessee Department of Transportation and Project Milkweed for efforts to restore monarch butterfly population.
The resolution commends the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Project Milkweed for their efforts to restore the monarch butterfly population. In 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature declared the monarch butterfly as endangered. In response, TDOT initiated Project Milkweed, distributing 780,000 milkweed seed packets in 2023 and 350,000 during National Pollinator Week in 2024. The seeds are available for up to three packets per person or household, aiming to restore landscapes and preserve habitats for pollinators, including the monarch butterfly.
