A BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO SUPPORT POLLINATORS

Here is a fantastic excerpt from Nadine’s Article:

Elk Root Conservation Farm and BDirty Co. are passionate about our “sweet buzzing sisters, the bees.” There are abundant reasons for all of us to care about bees and other pollinators, not least of which because one out of every three bites of food we eat depends upon them. Pollinators are vital players in healthy ecosystems, but their populations are increasingly under threat.

With habitat and food shortages being the biggest threats to bees, some of the most important things that individuals, farmers and communities can do are to propagate bee-friendly plants and preserve diverse living and foraging spaces. 

Once the [bee foraging] orchard and meadow are fully established,  Elk Root will be a place where people can come and see examples of native flora and drought-conscious bee-friendly plants up close, to draw inspiration for their own farms and gardens.

As Kate says, “imagine if everyone in Nelson planted just one bee-friendly plant in their garden…that would be over 10,000 pollinator sources! What a bee-autiful thing that would be!”
