Food, spices, oils and fibers – pollinators excel at making these items possible. The complexity of the pollinator world is astounding because of the roles they play and their vitality to healthy ecosystems. The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (<a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=d50e16d22b&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">NAPPC</a>) celebrates these achievements by highlighting some of the incredible people and projects that are working to conserve pollinators. We hope these stories encourage and empower you to better understand who our pollinators are and what actions you can take to help them.<br>
<br>
This month the NAPPC <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=cc1a8782fc&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Pollinator Communications Task Force</a> interviewed Zenaida Flores and Tharmond Ligon Jr. of Rescue MI Nature Now Inc. about their organization and their pollinator habitat work. <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=8c17523b37&e=0caa0484ac" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Rescue MI Nature Now</a> is a Michigan Nonprofit working to improve the environment and strengthen communities. The organization aims to transform unused land and turn it into green spaces with trees, flowers, and native plants.
