Yes! We are the source of the MONARCH CITY USA street signs and registration!
And the promise of helping you and your community with your first MONARCH FESTIVAL, for free.
MONARCH CITY USA was created in 2015 in Maple Valley, Washington! We are a non-profit corporation under Washington state Department of Revenue. We strongly encourage America’s 19,000+ municipalities to directly help the monarch butterfly population recover through planting milkweed and nectar plants within their borders. We purposely coordinate with other organizations to help the monarchs fully recover.
Our goal is to get the nation's municipalities to become supporters of the monarch butterfly by planting new monarch milkweed and nectar plants throughout their areas. Of course, we want to promote as many new sites as possible in as short of time as possible.
Please let us know if you have an idea or two to improve our efforts.

David Gilbertson, California: landscape architect and artist
Dave was our good friend, a landscape architect who cared about the environment in his thinking and plans. There were many caring, human dimensions about Dave, including a very good family. We miss him. All we can say is that God must have had an important, complicated landscape project to do and He chose Dave.
Contact us if you wish to join our board of advisors, or know of someone we should ask to be on the board.
