The Working Lands for Pollinators Program is focused on getting more habitat planted on farms, ranches and private lands. Habitat loss is one of the number one factors contributing to pollinator decline. Farms and ranches can serve as an intentional space to provide food, water and shelter for beneficial insects, while also benefiting from the services of pollinating and pest-controlling insects. To learn more about the benefits of hosting pollinator habitat on your commercial farm or ranch, check out our Pollinator Habitat Restoration on Working Lands guide.

Our field team can come out and learn about spaces you are interested in or open to planting pollinator habitat. We then create a report for you including plant lists and project ideas based on your goals, and if a project aligns with any of our team's funding, we can cover the cost of implementation.

To sign up for a free site visit, please fill out this short form to teach us about your land and goals.
