Our Work: We design large scale landscape projects that attract and support solitary native bees so they can reproduce and thrive. A restored native habitat results in bringing back bees and other wildlife for a diverse and stable ecosystem that is abundant and beautiful.
Why: Due to habitat loss and pesticide use many areas are degraded and cannot support bees and beneficial insects. Our mission with the Pollinator Project is to help campuses, cities, neighborhoods and farms become sanctuaries for native bees so they can thrive.
Nature provides us with all we need, so it is in our best interest to help the little creatures who pollinate our food. Ninety percent of plants, and 30% of our food is pollinated by bees, so creating a Pollinator Village is good for all of us.
We work with groups and teams to create a beautiful, healthy landscapes that invites bees, butterflies and wildlife back to the land.
