Chickasaw Nation expands butterfly-friendly habitats

The Chickasaw Nation continues its efforts to support monarch butterflies by expanding butterfly-friendly habitats. The tribe has partnered with other First American tribes to plant milkweed and other butterfly-friendly plants across Oklahoma. The Chickasaw Cultural Center’s butterfly garden, a key part of this initiative, provides a space for educational programs and conservation efforts. The tribe also invites the public to celebrate National Learn About Butterflies Day on March 14, featuring butterfly activities and plant giveaways.
