National Pollinator Week – June 18-24, 2018

June 15, 2018

The 2018 Pollinator Week poster, “Pollinators and Seeds,” shows how a diversity of managed and native pollinators supports healthy wildlands and a nutritious food supply in North America. In turn, native plant communities that sustain pollinators are an essential foundation for ecosystem integrity and diversity. (Pollinator.org)

As I’ve posted many times, pollination is a vital part of any ecosystem and ecosystems are a vital part of our well-being here on Earth. We should not overlook their importance, and, in fact, should become a vital part of seeing that they stay healthy — for the future of our food depends upon it.

To that end, two years ago, the US Senate passed a resolution which designated a week for pollinators. This year Pollinator Week is June 18 – 24.

A big factor in getting this resolution passed was the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC).  “NAPPC is a growing, collaborative body of more than 160 diverse partners, including respected scientists, researchers, conservationists, government officials and dedicated volunteers which is succeeding with major programs to protect pollinators, to raise pollinator-related issues, and to benefit the health of all species – particularly those most threatened.”

Pollinator Week Toolkit

The Pollinator Partnership has prepared a Pollinator Week 2018 Toolkit for us to use in getting the word out about the importance of pollinators. It has some good information in it and some great graphics.
