MJV Webinar: Mapping and Maximizing Monarch Habitat Outcomes on Federal Conservation Lands

Join the Monarch Joint Venture for the June session of the Monarch Conservation Webinar Series.

Date and Time: June 23, 2026 (1:00pm CT)

Title: Mapping and Maximizing Monarch Habitat Outcomes on Federal Conservation Lands

Presenter: Jen Thieme, Senior Science Manager, Monarch Joint Venture 

Description: Accurate, robust datasets are key to understanding conservation outcomes and maximizing benefits to target and non-target species. This session will present findings from a multi-state evaluation of USDA’s Conservation Reserve Program and USFWS conservation investments, highlighting how land use, conservation enrollment type, geography, and management practices influence monarch habitat and floral resources. We will also cover cost and time comparisons with traditional field surveys and share strategies for maximizing the efficiency of remote sensing–based monitoring.
