| | | Compiled by KDFWR with input from numerous Kentucky stakeholders, this plan focuses on the Monarch butterfly’s life cycle and habitat needs in relation to an ever-changing landscape. Subcommittees developed goals, challenges, and strategies to implement monarch conservation through a Kentucky Monarch Conservation Plan. Primary topics include: Education and Outreach, Funding, Private Lands, Public Lands, Research and Monitoring, and Rights-of-Way. |  | Kentucky Monarch Conservation Plan 2018 | Biology | 27 | |
| | | Lead by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the Kentucky Pollinator Protection Plan is a multi-stakeholder effort to reduce bee hive deaths, to increase awareness of responsible agriculture chemical use, and to expand opportunities for education about all pollinators. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable to changing environmental stresses, and has established lines of communication that had not previously existed. |  | KY Pollinator Protection Plan 2019 | Biology | 28 | |
| | | The Kentucky Pollinator Handbook is a Field Office technical guide reference for the management of pollinators and their habitats, which was developed specifically for Kentucky. This is a publication of NRCS Ecological Sciences in conjunction with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, and The Nature Conservancy. |  | USDA/NRCS Kentucky Pollinator Handbook (2016) | Biology | 29 | |
| | | Emerald ash borer (EAB) was first discovered in Kentucky in 2009 and is currently spreading throughout the commonwealth. The University of Kentucky hosts an informational website on the pest’s distribution throughout the state, measures being taken to combat its infestation and who to contact if you suspect EAB is damaging trees on your property. |  | Emerald Ash Borer | Biology | 30 | |
