The Pollinator Project.

---

Pollinators are some of the hardest-working species on the planet. Bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, bats, and other pollinators help plants reproduce by moving pollen from flower to flower. Around 75% to 95% of all flowering plants on Earth need help with pollination. Pollinators are some of the most important creatures on this Earth, and they need our help.

Beyond food production, pollinators help support healthy ecosystems by maintaining plant diversity and providing food and habitat for wildlife. Unfortunately, many pollinator species are facing significant challenges. Habitat loss, pesticide use, disease, and climate change have contributed to declining pollinator populations across North America. According to recent research, more than one in five pollinator species assessed in North America are considered at risk, with habitat loss being one of the biggest threats they face.

The Pollinator Project was created to establish pollinator-friendly habitats throughout our community. By planting gardens filled with native and pollinator-friendly species, we can provide food, shelter, and nesting opportunities that help pollinators thrive.

These gardens do more than support bees and butterflies. They create beautiful community spaces, increase biodiversity, encourage environmental stewardship, and provide opportunities for people to connect with nature.
