Roadside mowing resumes across Illinois

May 25, 2021 Busy Interstate – Studstill Media File Photo SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that roadside mowing has resumed statewide. IDOT again this year is scheduling mowing to maintain and grow pollinator habitat. In recent years, IDOT has revised its mowing practices to help create and maintain habitat for pollinators, including the endangered rusty patched bumble bee and the monarch butterfly, the official state insect of Illinois. “We are committed to protecting the environment in the work we do every day, but ask for the public’s cooperation by giving workers their distance,” said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “By combining well-defined vegetation management with mowing cycles that preserve sightlines and maximize safety, we can make a positive impact today and for future generations.”

Unfortunately, this is true, and in December 2020 they became a candidate under the Endangered Species Act, meaning monarchs meet the definition of an endangered species, ( listing.is warranted ) but they are not currently being protected. Each monarch weighs as little as a paperclip. It takes four or five generations of these butterflies to fly up from mountain forests in Mexico every spring to as far north as Canada. By late summer, a single super generation emerges to travel the entire 2,500 miles back to Mexico for overwintering. They lay their eggs
