Pollinators are essential to the health of our natural ecosystems and the agricultural economy worldwide. It is estimated that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of pollinators like bees, flies, beetles, butterflies, birds and bats. Populations of many pollinator species are in decline due to habitat loss and misuse of pesticides.
You can play a vital role in helping pollinators. Make your land, however small or large, safe for pollinators through a few simple actions:
NH Audubon has been working on pollinator conservation for several years through research, land management, and public outreach. Pollinator gardens are established at both the McLane and Massabesic Centers. The goal of these gardens is to demonstrate and share best practices for creating pollinator friendly spaces in your own backyard.
