MONARCHS IN THE ROUGH
Helping Monarch Butterflies
Thrive
Monarchs in the Rough is a collaborative initiative between Audubon International and the Environmental Defense Fund aimed at restoring crucial habitats for monarch butterflies on golf courses.
Monarchs in the Rough is a groundbreaking program designed to support the conservation of monarch butterflies by transforming underutilized areas on golf courses into vibrant habitats. In collaboration with Audubon International and the Environmental Defense Fund, the initiative provides golf courses with resources to plant milkweed and nectar plants, essential for monarch survival. This effort not only enhances the natural beauty of golf courses but also significantly contributes to the restoration of monarch populations and biodiversity.
