🏖️ From all of us at the Wildlife Conservation Board, we wish Mary Ahern a very happy retirement!

Mary has spent the better part of the last decade as WCB’s administrative assistant, coordinating everything from quarterly board meetings, board member and staff travel, to running our day-to-day operations.

📥 Mary started her state service career with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife before moving down the hall to WCB in 2018. Prior to that, she spent over 30 years in the private sector working in environmental consulting.

✈️ Retirement will give Mary time for travel with her husband and extended family, gardening, and even more travel! We will miss you, Mary! Thank you for everything!

🚨📰🗞️ Big news for monarch butterflies whose western population has catastrophically declined in recent years: A group of 13 state and federal agencies - which includes the and - have highlighted key actions and research needs aimed at catalyzing western monarch butterfly conservation in California.

The Multi-Agency Monarch and Pollinator Collaborative’s “Conservation Priorities for western monarchs in California” report identifies five top-priority actions for the next three years:

‼️ Develop common monarch habitat definitions for the west

‼️ Track implementation and success of habitat projects

‼️ Centralize existing pollinator resources

‼️ Increase native plant availability for restoration projects

‼️ Develop a demographic model to identify vulnerabilities in the western monarch life cycle

🏦🔬📝 The report also underscores the need for sustained state investment. Since 2018, the Wildlife Conservation Board has awarded more than $10 million to restore and enhance monarch and pollinator habitat across California through its Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Rescue Program, with additional support available through Proposition 4.
