Our Seed A Legacy program makes it easy for the owners and managers of private, public and corporate lands to create pollinator projects that make a difference.The program works with you to help establish pollinator projects following our NextGen Habitat Project designs and NextGen seed mixes. Our projects have been documented to provide increased pollinator benefits over other pollinator conservation programs.

How Does it Work?
We identify private, public and corporate projects with the highest potential to create pollinator habitat, then design a NextGen seed mixture to maximize pollinator support. Each project receives FREE* seed and one-on-one technical guidance to maintain the project over the next 5 years. *Up to 25 acres. Projects larger than 25 acres receive seed mixture at heavily discounted rates. |
Who Qualifies?
We currently work with landowners that have 2+ acres AND are located in the 13-state region shown above. *More states will be added soon! Why these states? The Midwest is a critical area for all pollinators, encompassing both the migration route of the monarch butterfly and critical honey bee habitat. |
