Landscape Interactions launches Farming for Biodiversity toolkit  <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-alOU6-0q0kc3sUAyHct1zFTefxKAbIA/view?usp=sharing> Farming for Biodiversity <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-alOU6-0q0kc3sUAyHct1zFTefxKAbIA/view?usp=sharing> is a comprehensive guide for identifying, creating and maintaining functionally diverse habitat on farmscapes across Martha’s Vineyard, to support native bee, butterfly and moth species at the greatest risk of local extinction. While the designs, plant lists and management recommendations are based on the unique conditions found at Island Grown Farm, their applicability stretches far beyond the boundaries of the farm or the island. The product of a year-long collaboration between farmers and staff at Island Grown Initiative <https://www.igimv.org> and designers, planners and scientists at Landscape Interactions <https://www.landscapeinteractions.com/?ss_source=sscampaigns&ss_campaign_id=63404a3323899e112776c1ab&ss_email_id=6349332f17c8fd68d990ad8d&ss_campaign_name=Landscape+Interactions+launches+Farming+for+Biodiversity+toolkit&ss_campaign_sent_date=2022-10-14T10%3A00%3A34Z> , this Toolkit endeavors to make pollinator habitat creation easy, exciting and beneficial to the functioning of the whole farm system — inspiring landowners and land managers to view their properties as integral parts of a network of ecosystems that stretches into surrounding communities and across the wider region.

Most insects may be gone before the end of the century at the current rate of decline. Plant-pollinator interactions, or ‘pollination systems,’ play a keystone role in natural ecosystems. As the climate crisis unravels life as we know it, protecting pollination systems is critical for maintaining global biodiversity. Pollination systems include bees, butterflies, moths, birds, beetles and flies, and represent over 80% of plant species worldwide.  <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-alOU6-0q0kc3sUAyHct1zFTefxKAbIA/view?usp=sharing> WHO WE ARE Landscape Interactions <https://www.landscapeinteractions.com/services?ss_source=sscampaigns&ss_campaign_id=63404a3323899e112776c1ab&ss_email_id=6349332f17c8fd68d990ad8d&ss_campaign_name=Landscape+Interactions+launches+Farming+for+Biodiversity+toolkit&ss_campaign_sent_date=2022-10-14T10%3A00%3A34Z> is an interdisciplinary landscape planning and design firm deeply rooted in science and field-based practice. We offer landscape design, regional planning, habitat management, pollinator-plant species surveys and ecological site analysis, for the creation, restoration and maintenance of pollinator habitat in a variety of land use scenarios and scales. What makes our design and planning services unique is that they are scientifically-based, and backed by research. We improve ecosystems, document the results and teach others how to do it themselves.
