Whether on the picturesque beaches of Hawaii or in the dense forests of the Rockies, pollinators such as bees and butterflies, play a crucial role in maintaining and improving our ecosystems. They help to grow the plants that we eat every single day, are vital parts of the natural food-chain, and serve as ecosystem barometers due to their sensitivity to climate change.
In the past 5 years, bee and butterfly have declined remarkably. Saving these creatures is imperative to humankind since approximately 75% of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we eat are courtesy of pollinators. Bees and butterflies also beautify our planet; their important role in plant reproduction perpetuates floral growth and provide aesthetically pleasing landscapes for human enjoyment and faunal habitat.
Due to the importance of pollinators in our changing climate, we are taking the initiative to help restore bee and butterfly populations by offering free Black-Eyed Susan and Butterfly Milkweed seed packs.
Helping Restore Pollinator Populations:
Check out this website to see what pollinator-friendly plants are native to your region.
Avoid using pesticides in your garden.
Leave them alone - bees won't harm you if left unprovoked and butterflies should never be captured.
Buy local and eat more organic, pesticide-free foods to encourage healthy agriculture.
Purchase local honey prepared by local beekeepers.- Encourage your local council to implement pollinator - friendly policies and to maintain and enhance pollinator habitats.
