Support Pollinators

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Climate

Publish Public Transportation information on my personal and professional Facebook pages.

I am an outreach specialist with a public transportation agency. Since all of our events are canceled, I am looking for ways to continue to educate our community about the benefits of public transportation. For now, we are only encouraging essential trips, but we hope the future will be filled buses for our system!

    Thankful to live in a place where social distancing is possible in the outdoors.

    Early morning wakeup call to get my outdoor time in! Lots of little mice on the trail, one skunk, one partial skunk and no people sightings.

      There seems to be lots more skunks around!  It's my wild animal study for eco-challenge.  May you never have too close an encounter!  Good on you to get out there in the cold and do it anyway!!

    This is not photoshopped! The flowers in the Foothills are just getting started, but the balsamroot is a showy start to spring. Was able to get in about 5 solo miles this morning on the trails. Only my dog and a couple of coyotes to keep me company.

    I am an outdoorsy person, so spending time outside is not a problem for me. With current events shrinking my world, I am learning to appreciate the beauty right out my back door. There are some amazing things happening in my own yard. Tulips and violets are blooming. Blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are budding.

    I didn't take a photo this morning on my run through the Foothills, but will try to make it a regular habit. The bluebells, yellow bells, phlox and buttercups are in full emergence. Saw a rainbow this morning before getting caught in a rain squall.
