Oklahoma’s roadside wildflowers don’t just brighten highways. They also connect and fuel wildlife, feed pollinators and drive tourism.
- Buzz Builders - Pollinators support one in three bites of food, contributing $157 million each year to Oklahoma agriculture economy.
- Habitat Highways - More than 16,000 acres of pollinator-friendly habitat in the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s Monarch Program reconnects fragmented areas and creates critical wildlife corridors.
- Smart and Scenic Savings - Native roadsides reduce mowing, lower fuel and labor costs and keep highways beautiful for residents and visitors alike.
- Power in Partnership - Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Color Oklahoma (a committee of the Oklahoma Native Plant Society) and Keep Oklahoma Beautiful are partners in safely managing and growing native roadside habitats statewide.
- Buzz-Worthy Achievements - Oklahoma’s wildflower and monarch programs have earned so many conservation awards, listing them all might cause a traffic jam.

Growing beauty. Supporting wildlife. Strengthening Oklahoma.
