<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Dear Pollinator Stewards:</strong><br>
<br>
We hope you are safe and well. While you're navigating this crisis, Pollinator Partnership and the Project Wingspan team is thinking of you, and are pledged to keep working on behalf of pollinators, plants, people and the planet through this difficult time.<br>
<br>
<strong>"There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." –Rachel Carson</strong><br>
<br>
As we continue to navigate uncharted territory, the P2 staff have turned to Rachel Carson’s wisdom and words for strength. Nature provides a place for us to escape, reflect, recharge, and find inspiration during these times. While the 2020 collection season will likely be carried out a little differently this year, we will still be forging ahead when and where we can responsibly do so. Helping to keep our volunteers, partners, staff, and all the people they connect with healthy and safe is our top priority and our State Coordinators will soon be in touch with teams regarding guidance and recommendations to ensure that where able, our teams can still actively participate in Project Wingspan with peace of mind. In this vein, we have an exciting update to share and look forward to continuing Project Wingspan’s mission to increase the quantity, quality, and connectivity of pollinator habitat throughout the Midwest and Great Lakes regional landscape with your help and support!<br>
<br>
<strong>Sincerely,<br>
The Project Wingspan Team</strong></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Did you know that the monarch butterfly, one of North America’s most iconic species, is in jeopardy? Populations of this amazing migratory butterfly have <strong>declined by 80-90%</strong> over the last couple decades and they are currently being considered for listing under the <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=15f066041d&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#9f590e;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Endangered Species Act</a>. Research estimates that an <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=ba9e15c17d&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#9f590e;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><strong>additional 1.8 billion stems</strong></a> of milkweed are needed in order to stabilize their populations.<br>
<br>
Like the monarch, the rusty patched bumble bee (RPBB) was a common species 20 years ago, with a range across 28 states and two Canadian provinces. Unfortunately, RPBB populations have also seen a swift decline since the 1990s, which earned it <strong>placement on the endangered species list in 2017</strong> – with a distinction of becoming the first bee in the contiguous 48 states to be declared endangered.</span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Project Wingspan is looking for enthusiastic seed collecting volunteers in <strong>Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin </strong>to help collect seeds from milkweed and other common native forage plants. As a seed collecting volunteer you will be provided with the training needed to make valuable contributions to support migrating monarchs and resident rusty patched bumble bees.<br>
<br>
Pollinator Partnership has created a <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=fd2358aea4&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#9f590e;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">simple 6-step online training module</a> to help you learn more about Project Wingspan and its goals, how to properly collect seed from the landscape, and how to identify our target species. Skills that once learned, can be applied to your personal garden and other local community efforts. <strong>To get started today</strong>, click here <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=6873c2f9fe&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#9f590e;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/Wingspan-volunteer</a> and let us know you’d like to volunteer with the project. Then a state coordinator will get in touch to connect you with the training module that will best fit your level of time, skill, and interest.<br>
<br>
Once a volunteer has completed the simple 6-step online training, they will be sent a personalized certificate of training and be assigned to the nearest established Collection Team.</span>
