We work with local farmers to establish and conserve native pollinator habitat!

          Changing how farmland is managed can have a broad and profound influence on populations of bees, butterflies, and a range of other animals.  A 2017, Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (S.A.R.E.) grant helped increase pollinator outreach and engage farmers (both small-scale and large-scale), educators, and students in establishing and conserving native pollinator habitat. These Pollinator Friendly Farming Resources might interest you.
