Whether you are a farmer of many acres, land manager of a large tract of land, or a gardener with a small lot, you can increase the number of pollinators in your area by making conscious choices to include plants that provide essential habitat for bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Happy planting!

Invite pollinators to your neighborhood by planting a pollinator friendly habitat in your garden, farm, school, park or just about anywhere!
The Idea
Pollinator Parnership helps people protect pollinators to ensure healthy ecosystems and food security. The Pollinator Partnership’s mission is to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education, and research. Their signature initiatives include the NAPPC (North American Pollinator Protection Campaign), National Pollinator Week, and the Ecoregional Planting Guides, which this page will help you to get started with in your community.
The ecoregional planting guides, Selecting Plants for Pollinators, are tailored to specific areas of the United States and Canada. You can find out which ecoregion you live in simply by entering your zip code / postal code at http://pollinator.org/guides and get your free guide tailored to the pollinators in your region. You can find lists of plant names that will attract pollinators and help you build a beautiful pollinator habitat! Print these lists and bring them to your local native plant, garden center or nursery and then get a group together and get planting!
"Your guide has opened up a whole new area of ecological observation and quick reference as to what species of pollinators use what plants as well as an opportunity through personal observation as to what additional pollinator are important . All of these pollinators and the pollination process are providing food and future fruits and seed production for birds. People must realize that you cannot have the butterflies and moths without the caterpillars and you cannot have food for the birds and other wildlife without the pollinators."

Isikhathi:
2-6 hours per week. This will be more time intensive at the start; finding your habitat space, researching which pollinators are present and setting up your habitat, after that it will just be about maintaining your habitat.
Taking action to provide a pollinator friendly habitat in your community helps support healthy and sustainable agricultural economies, food supplies and landscapes. Plus, it's lots of fun!
