Taking Action

TAKING ACTION for pollinators can assume many forms. Protecting, enhancing, or restoring wildflower-rich foraging habitat is the most significant step you can take for bees, butterflies, and other flower visitors. In addition, you can provide nest sites for native bees, host plants for butterflies, and overwintering refuge for other insects. When these basic habitat essentials are provided, you will want to manage them in ways that ensure long-term productivity. Finally, advocate for pollinators. Share their story with neighbors and policymakers. Let your own conservation efforts be an example, and use pollinator conservation as a framework to achieve multiple goals. Actions for pollinators will also support other wildlife, beautify our world, and support sustainable farms and urban environments.
