Support Pollinators

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 120 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

So fun! With my daughter home with me all the time now (due to COVID-19), we wake up every morning and spend at least an hour (if not more) watching the "virtual safaris" being aired via FB from the Cincinnati Zoo and the Portland Zoo! We have learned more about wild animals in this time frame than ever before- and it has sparked the interest of my daughter to maintain our wildlife to protect the populations of so many amazing creatures!
