<span style="font-size:15px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Pollinator Week 2021 (June 21-27)</strong> is the fifteenth consecutive year of bringing greater awareness to the critically important issue of pollinator conservation since <strong>Pollinator Partnership (P2)</strong> founded the initiative in 2007. Similar to last year, <strong>Pollinator Week</strong> will facilitate a number of virtual and socially distant events with people across the planet pledging to continue to promote pollinator health and well-being. “Pollinator Week has grown into an internationally recognized celebration about the importance of the essential pollinating species that keep us and our environment healthy,” said Pollinator Partnership’s Executive Director, <strong>Kelly Rourke</strong>. One of the most anticipated events will be the Pollinator Power Party co-hosted with the <strong>Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). </strong>The virtual party will celebrate pollinators and the role electric power companies have in protecting them and will include scientific lectures by world renowned speakers, celebrity cooking demonstrations, pollinator art and culture, habitat management and professional gardening tips.<br>
<br>
Through the numerous virtual and in-person gatherings, webinars, responsible planting sessions, socially distant garden and farm walks, and monument lightings, <strong>Pollinator Week 2021</strong> will be a meaningful start to the summer. <strong>Laurie Davies Adams, </strong>Director of Programs of P2, noted that “We anticipate Pollinator Week proclamations from nearly all U.S. States, and federally from the US Department of Agriculture, the US Department of the Interior and the US Environmental Protection Agency - a sign of strong support for pollinator health in the Biden Administration as well as bipartisan support across the country.”<br>

<span style="font-size:15px"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Pollinator Week shines a spotlight on the vital role of pollinators in our agriculture and ecosystems. Pollinators bring us 1 in 3 bites of food; promote ecosystem health; and lay the foundation for a sustainable future. While we are seeing some signs of the benefits of conservation efforts, many species of pollinators are still in grave peril. As a result of P2’s commitment and coordination of Pollinator Week, people across North America are motivated to help pollinators, and this is represented in the enthusiastic response that Pollinator week evokes.
