Job Advertisement - https://www.pollinator.org/careers
*Pollinator Partnership is seeking an artist to render the 2021 Pollinator
Poster, this year focusing on “Pollinators and Agriculture: A partnership
on the land.” To apply, please send a one-page narrative concept idea with
a draft sketch to Savannah Autran at **Savannah at pollinator.org*
<Savannah at pollinator.org>* by Friday, November 27, 2020.*
*Background *Birds, bees, butterflies, beetles, bats and other small
mammals that pollinate plants are responsible for bringing us one out of
every three bites of food. Pollinators also sustain our ecosystems and
contribute to natural resources by helping plants reproduce. Unfortunately,
they are in trouble. Some species have seen a 90% decline in their
populations over the last decade. Without the actions of pollinators,
agricultural economies, our food supply, and surrounding landscapes would
suffer.
*Our Solution for Sustainability
*Pollinator
Partnership and its signature initiative the North American Pollinator
Protection Campaign (NAPPC) address issues of pollinator health and decline
using many resources and projects. We are dealing with a complex issue that
does not have a simple solution, but by addressing each area where
pollinators interface with people we can make a significant impact in
pollinator, ecosystem, and human health. One way we address this issue is
through outreach, education, and action.
*Purpose *Each year, P2 and NAPPC, along with a wide range of partners
(including federal agencies, non-profits, for-profits, individuals, etc.)
design and distribute an educational pollinator poster. About 100,000
posters are distributed throughout the United States each year. They are
one of the most popular outreach material items offered and are distributed
for the cost of shipping and handling.
*Use *Each year’s poster is unique in size and content, and the posters are
enjoyed and used in a wide variety of venues from classrooms, fairs,
conferences, and offices, to homes, and educational trainings.
*Poster Image – Vision *Promoting healthy pollinators in agricultural
settings has a direct impact on the quality and quantity of crops being
produced, while simultaneously benefiting the health of humans, plants, and
the planet. Actions for pollinators on farms, like the planting of habitat
including buffers, pollinator gardens, hedgerows, and cover crops, improves
the health of our air, water, and soil, positively impacting farming
operations. Pollinators and their habitat can economically benefit farmers
through increased yield, decreased maintenance, and less reliance on
chemical inputs. Pollinators in-turn rely on croplands and adjacent natural
areas for forage, nesting, and refuge.
We envision this poster being an artistic depiction of the harmony that can
be achieved when agricultural landscapes embrace pollinator-friendly
management practices. Such Best Management Practices focus on maintaining
healthy populations of both managed honey bees and wild pollinators in farm
settings. Best Management Practices include:
- Minimizing the use of pesticides to reduce the impact on pollinators,
or spraying at night when bees are less active
- Provide bloom of different flowering plants throughout the growing
season, especially in early spring and late autumn
- Minimizing tillage to protect ground nesting pollinators
- Creating designated permanently untilled areas and leaving woody or
pithy stems for native bee nests bees
- Ensuring water sources are scattered throughout the landscape
- Choosing a variety of native plants to act as windbreaks, riparian
buffers, and field borders throughout the farm
- Planting unused land with temporary cover crops that can provide forage
Let this proposed vision spark creativity, but do not feel limited to these
ideas. The most important part of creating any poster is to make it a
beautiful work of art that also communicates an idea or behavior that
supports pollinator heath. A scientific/naturalistic style is preferred. P2
staff will work with the artist on scientific accuracy and detail. To view

*Poster Size *There is flexibility with the size of the poster, but past
posters have ranged from 30 in x 12 in to 30 in x 32 in (including a galley

standard poster size so that the poster may easily be framed.
*Compensation *Pollinator Partnership does not make any profit off of the
poster and distributes them for free (not including shipping and

public about the importance of pollinators. The chosen artist will receive
