*Pollinator Week Shows the Power in Protecting Pollinators*
*Pollinator Week 2021 (June 21-27)* is the fifteenth consecutive year of
bringing greater awareness to the critically important issue of pollinator
conservation since *Pollinator Partnership (P2)* founded the initiative in
2007. Similar to last year, *Pollinator Week* 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, *Kelly
Rourke*. One of the most anticipated events will be the Pollinator Power
Party co-hosted with the *Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).  *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.

Through the numerous virtual and in-person gatherings, webinars,
responsible planting sessions, socially distant garden and farm walks, and
monument lightings, *Pollinator Week 2021* will be a meaningful start to
the summer. *Laurie Davies Adams, *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.”

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. More information is at
