  Department\, including maintaining over 15\,000 square feet of vital ha
 bitat\, host plants and nectar sources for pollinators\, a robust urban 
 canopy existing alongside many wildflower and native grass areas in Edmo
 nd’s parks and public spaces\, and unique pollinator-centered outreach

 ear\, such as monarch tagging. This grant is meant to inspire municipali
 ties to take steps to support pollinators in their own communities and C
 ity of Edmond is honored to be a recipient!
