Providing habitat for wild pollinators is one of the most impactful actions individuals and land managers can take for invertebrate welfare and ecosystem health.
Wild pollinators that cannot find sufficient food resources within their foraging range face colony failure and individual starvation. Providing diverse flowering plants with overlapping blooming seasons ensures pollinators have food throughout the active season. Nesting habitat provision including insect hotels, bare soil areas, and undisturbed vegetation allows pollinators to complete their life cycles.
