We’re not ready to tell you everything yet. But we can tell you this: something’s been growing behind the scenes, and it’s almost ready to break ground.

Save the date — January 15–16, 2027.

That’s all we’re saying for now. Not the name. Not the agenda. Not even the logo — that part’s still under wraps. What we can say is that it’s been months in the making, it’s got real partners behind it, and it’s built for anyone who’s ever spent a weekend hauling brush, resetting a water bar, or wondering why the trail keeps washing out in the same spot every spring.

Mobile Migration 2026 Information:        September 18^th – 20^th

New 2026 Mobile Migration Map Link: 2026 Monarchs on the Mountain Mobile Migration Map

Mobile Migration Statement, Garden list with hyperlinks: 

Again in 2026, we are hosting a Mobile Migration activity, symbolizing the Tri-Nation migration of Monarchs from their northern breeding grounds up along the Canadian/US border south through the US East of the Rockies to their over-wintering grounds in the Oyamel fir forests of Central Mexico, a nearly 3000-mile journey!  We have chosen 6gardens ranging from the OSU Extension Office gardens as our northernmost point, down to the habitats at the Riverfield Country Day School and as far south as the Oklahoma Aquarium.  In between, there are some nifty locations many of you may be unaware of.  Signage at each location will tell you some interesting things about the various unique aspects of how migration coincides with stages of a Monarch’s life cycle and the generational progression of their journey! And this year there is a bonus habitat. Enjoy and have fun!

Past Mobile Migration Habitats

1. Master Gardeners OSU Extension Garden – The Master Gardeners work their magic with various native plants labeled as nectar sources in planted beds and some cool water features.

• Pocket Prairie, Midtown Tulsa in the Lortondale neighborhood – This is a picture-perfect example of how to convert your front yard into a native wildflower habitat. The key to having success is to focus on elements such as replacing traditional grass with native plants, a simple water source like a bird bath, and natural shelter made from native wildflowers and grasses such as Buffalo, Blue Stem, and Turkey Foot, all of which support native pollinators. The key features are that the habitat/yard complies with the City of Tulsa Ordinances and has great signage. 

• River Parks Authority Trails at 18^th and Riverside – The RPA’s mission is to enhance community life through stewardship of parks and public spaces along the Arkansas River. At 18^th and Riverside, you will notice an impressive variety of Oklahoma native wildflowers found between the trail and the Arkansas River’s edge. 

4. Crow Creek Meadow– A tiny, easy-to-overlook locale near Brookside, CCM currently has lots of Senna (Partridge Pea), the host plant for Cloudless Sulphurs in buttery yellow bloom, in addition to Cowpen Daisy, Indian Paint Brush, and Spanish Gold. Swing by throughout the year to see what is in season!

• Tulsa Garden Center- The Butterfly Garden section outside the main garden is a Monarch Magnet with two big Vitex bushes and other nectar plants.  The adjacent Garden Center beds and upper Rose Garden beds have a variety of nectar sources, and roosting Monarchs may be found in the line of Cedar trees between Linnaeus and the Rose Garden. 

6. Oklahoma Aquarium Stuart Family Foundation Pollinator Garden! – The Stuart Family Foundation Pollinator Garden features native Oklahoma plants selected to attract and sustain butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other essential pollinators

Bonus Habitat – Ray Harral Nature Park & Center – This 40-acre park includes a Nature Center, 3 miles of trails with varying trail grades, a natural spring system, park benches, two picnic shelters with tables, pollinator gardens, an outdoor classroom, a suspension bridge, and much more.

Join the TUWC as we wage a War on Christmas – not really but we are declaring war on public enemy #1 the Eastern Red Cedar. These invasive trees that people love to think of as a Christmas Tree in the Wild are actually a highly flammable invasive native tree in Oklahoma and help Lone Star Ticks thrive so winter is the perfect time to eliminate them from the trails!

Come Out and lend a hand as we see how many of these villains we can fell!
