Our Four Impact Areas

We protect what you love and care about in our local communities, in our state and on Planet Earth.

  • 1. Critical Habitat Restorations

    Walking along a hushed, radiant woodland pathway to discover an open meadow of fluttering butterflies on the wing – we care.  One of the top driving factors of pollinator decline is loss of habitat and fragmentation of nature. Protecting natural and wild areas is key to pollinator survival.  We mentor and partner with local communities and counties to increase critical habitat for at-risk species. We are well on our way to restoring 400 acres of native habitat by 2025.

  • 2. Reduce Pesticide Pollution

    Humans, wildlife, birds and pollinators all suffer from pesticide pollution in the water, the air and on our food. We’re committed to promoting healthy communities by reducing pesticides. Pesticide use is the number one most devastating cause of pollinator decline. The current industrial agriculture system and landscape practices are not sustainable for a healthy life as pollinators and ecosystems continue to disappear. We create and implement sustainable models and best practices without pesticides for backyards, local communities, public lands and roadways.

  • 3. Public Education and Citizen Science

    Spotting a robust red-belted bumble bee bumping along a canopy of a sunlit golden savanna – we care.  We’ve learned that to do our most impactful work, we need people. The disappearance of keystone species is a movement of billions. Many people need to care enough to act. Understanding encourages conservation through our educator talks, nature immersion programs in the field, community science pollinator counts, and annual Best Practices for Pollinators Summit.

  • 4. Advocacy and Community Stewardship

    Preserving a life WITH pollinators is worth fighting for. We’re committed to working with community members, groups, local and state policymakers to protect the beauty and resilience of the natural world. We mentor communities and public land managers on Pollinator Protection Resolutions and ecologically sound land stewardship. We collaborate because together we are stronger. Our coalition of partners works on policy to protect at-risk pollinators and critical habitat. We never forget the importance of our pollinator keystone species as we advocate for change.
