<DIV>We are happy to announce a new Wild Farm Alliance briefing paper <I>Wild
Pollinators: Agriculture’s Forgotten Pollinators.<BR><BR></I>Speaking to
farmers, the paper elaborates on how to attract native pollinators, lists
pollination-dependent crops and their native bees, has real-world case studies,
and gives ten reasons why native pollinators are important to the farm and the
wild.<BR><BR>We would appreciate your help in reaching out to make sure <I>Wild
Pollinators: Agriculture’s Forgotten Pollinators </I>becomes one more compelling
reason for farmers to work with and benefit from wild Nature. Let us know if you
would like copies mailed to you for use at meetings and events, in classrooms,
and work with policy and the media. We are also interested in co-hosting events
about native pollinators on the farm. Please contact us at:

appreciate the assistance from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation
with this paper.<BR><BR><I>The Wild Farm Alliance promotes a healthy, viable
agriculture that protects and restores wild Nature. We envision ecologically
managed farms and ranches that gracefully meld into landscapes that support, if
possible, the full range of native species and ecological
processes.<BR><BR></I>Thanks,<BR><I><BR></I>Jo Ann Baumgartner<BR>Wild Farm
