Tiny Workers
Pollinators are some of the hardest working individuals on the planet. Day in and day out, these tiny workers travel from flower to flower, plant to plant in a never ending cycle. Their efforts allow for pollination, which is essential for plants to turn flowers into fruits and vegetables. Now, they’re facing an uncertain future. Habitat destruction is pushing them to the verge of extinction—however, there is still time to save them. The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund is dedicated to restoring habitat these pollinators need to thrive. |

Early Project Management: Key Mowing Considerations - Part 1
This Habitat Tip describes the key considerations of when and how to use mowing as a management technique in your new or young habitat projects.
