Pollinators, What's all the Buzz About?
There’s a lot of buzz about bees and other pollinators these days, and for good reason; pollinators are in peril. Biologists are warning that pollinator populations are in sharp decline, with some species facing extinction. But the good news is there are things you can do to help right outside your door.
Are you on the map?
Join the Northeast Pollinator Pathway
Pollinator Pathway Northeast is a grassroots movement focused on establishing pollinator-friendly habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife along a series of continuous corridors. By connecting private and public spaces we can build back essential habitat.
Think like a Pollinator!
Design and maintain your yard and gardens with pollinators in mind. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers resources for creating pollinator friendly habitat right at home.
