The Tulsa County Board of County Commissioners adopted a proclamation designating Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, as the 11th annual "Monarchs on the Mountain" migration celebration. The proclamation emphasizes Oklahoma's role in the monarch migration flyway and urges citizen education and conservation actions.
Patrick Hayes, introduced by a commissioner, described the event and partners, saying the county would host participants from organizations including the Sustainability Alliance, Tulsa Audubon Society, INCOG and TUWC. "We're expecting about 76 organizations to come through," Hayes said, and county staff noted the event is one of the region's largest conservation events. The board moved to accept the proclamation and approved it by roll call; commissioners paused afterward for a commemorative photo.
The proclamation text in the meeting ties the celebration to pollinator protection and community education and encourages residents to help support monarch populations. (Note: the proclamation text as read in the transcript contains a date line reading "this 14th day of September 2025," which appears to be a typographical error in the read text; the board adopted the proclamation at the Sept. 14, 2026 meeting.)
