The TxN Certification program is an evolution of the Monarch Wrangler program–TxN Certification gives recognition to all types of conservation projects, including but not limited to those of monarch focus. All existing Monarch Wranglers are now recognized through the TxN Certification program for their efforts to create pollinator/monarch habitat. Those seeking recognition for habitat projects should apply for TxN Certification. If you have any questions about the program evolution contact us.
