Project Pollinator has exciting news to share. The Land Trust of North Alabama is going through a transformation and over the next few years, beginning with the pollinator education garden at Blevins Gap Nature Preserve and the pollinator garden at Harvest Square Nature Preserve, the goal will be adding a pollinator garden at all trailheads. Some of the new plantings will be small, but a couple of them will actually cover an acre or more of preserved land. Pollinators include bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, birds, and bats. Each of us depends on pollinators in a practical way to provide us with the wide range of foods we eat. This presentation will cover pollinators and the plants they need to survive and thrive in our local environment, The speakers will also touch on practical ways to incorporate a pollinator garden into any home landscape.
