Pollinators are the forgotten link in our agriculture, farming and food security. Birds, bats, butterflies, bees, small mammals, and other insects all pollinate our food crops, forests, gardens and landscapes.
These little creatures visit flowers and seed heads to feed, taking pollen from one plant to another so that seed can set and fruit can grow.
Pollinator decline is already having an impact on our food security. We need to take action at a local and national level, after all, we rely on pollinators for one in three bites of food.
Without the actions of pollinators, agricultural and horticultural economies, our food supply, and surrounding landscapes would collapse.
