This grant is for enhancing understanding of grassland habitat quality and availability for crucial pollinator species, including monarch butterflies and native bees, within southern plains parks. It aims to gain insight into how various grassland management practices, such as controlled fires and exotic plant treatments, might influence the quality or availability of such essential habitats. The information gathered from this project is intended to help guide the inclusion of specific pollinator habitat attributes into the ongoing monitoring of grassland habitats. This vital work is conducted by the Southern Plains Network and Southern Plains Fire Group, ultimately aiming to improve regional pollinator conservation strategies and ensure sustainable environments for these vital species.

| Description: | The purpose of this project is to enhance our understanding of habitat quality and availability for pollinator species, particularly monarch butterflies and native bee species in parks of the southern plains. We also hope to gain some insight regarding how management of those grasslands (e.g., fire and exotic plant treatments) might influence the quality or availability of such habitat. It is our intention to use this information to help guide us toward inclusion of pollinator habitat attributes into our ongoing monitoring of grassland habitats conducted the Southern Plains Network and Southern Plains Fire Group. |
