[Pollinator] Pollinator meadows in brownfields

HI Phyl,

Here are a few items I found by searching the topic using the keywords you listed. I’ve also copied Eric Olson, an
at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. Eric was one of the key people who inspired me 
to start Meadowscaping for Biodiversity in 2013.

Dear All: 

Could you share information/research regarding whether contaminants in brownfields impact the pollinators that forage, or in the case of lepidoptera, feed on leaves, there?  A couple of Bee City USA affiliates have old brownfields they would like to plant as pollinator meadows, but naturally, they're concerned about the risk.

Thanks for your advice.

warmly, Phyl
