What Can YOU Do? 

Loss of habitat is one of the biggest issues contributing to the mounting declines in pollinator populations, but coming together as a community to celebrate and support these precious keystone species during Pollinator Week and beyond can make a difference. Just provide year-long pollen and nectar resources along with clean water and places to rest and nest along any open space, farm, park, and/or home and you can make all the difference in restoring healthy local populations. 

Here are some planting resources to get you started.
