I have followed Pollinator Partnership's work for over 10 years, the agency continues to evolve and educate communities as we face serious climate change. The organization deeply cares, is very approachable, and provides current research and solutions that individuals, institutions and companies can implement to support the health of pollinators. We must all take ownership in the care and growth of pollinators. Pollinator Partnership has brought hope and value to that endeavor with their exceptional knowledge and dedication.

My experience with Pollinator Partnership over the years has been multifaceted, initially a personal interest in impacting good health for all individuals regardless of socio-economic status. Learning about pollinators became a huge part of my respect for responsibly providing food across the globe. I have worked in the court system for years focusing on policy and best practices to improve outcomes for children in the child welfare system and victims of intimate partner violence. Being able to offer programs that not only provide safety and permanency, but also enhance individuals, children and caregivers ability to learn about the importance of the food they eat while empowering them to take control of their health is powerful. Pollinator Partnership's educational programs and resources are excellent and provide a spectrum of tools to educate at all levels. Local community agencies are planting community gardens teaching about maintaining habitats and ecosystems animals rely upon for food. Schools across the country are utilizing Pollinator Partnership programs to teach children in urban and rural communities the value of pollinators and how everyone can contribute to a stronger ecosystem. Pollinator Partnership programs allow individuals to focus on health, environment and ownership of the food they eat. Thank you Pollinator Partnership for your continued outreach, dedication and raising awareness at all levels of society.
Pollinator Partnership is an amazing organization that promotes that conservation of as well as education about pollinators!
I really appreciate the resources and materials that Pollinator Partnership can provide to you to assist in your personal conservation efforts. Kelly is always incredibly helpful and a wealth of knowledge. I enjoy seeing their impact and collaborations across the country. They are doing fantastic work!
I first learned about Pollinator Partnership Canada's work through Janeid after seeing signs for project swallowtail in the Dufferin Pocket. He was so gracious with his time and knowledge, and I even got some free plants from him to get us started in our front shade yard and incorporate more native plants and habitat.
I have no photos to share yet, but we have heart-leaved asters and zigzag goldenrod from him that have been planted underneath our cedars, and on a boulevard bed I am now trying to turn into a pollinator garden!
Pollinator Partnership provides excellent education opportunities for individuals, communities and businesses. Their research and expertise truly launches us all into a more sustainable and healthy future. Thank you P2!

I find the Pollinator Partnership to have a mission oriented, cooperative and collegial Board. As a new member of the Board, I was attracted by the critical importance of the Pollinator Partnership's work; particularly as we cope with climate variability and the disruptions it is causing in our natural world. To date, being a part of the Board has been an engaging and worthwhile experience. The members are diverse, universally kind and respectful to one another, and have a clear focus on advancing the mission.
I absolutely love this non-profit and all the work they do in environmental conservation. Whether it's a nationwide campaign or a local program, P2 always commits tirelessly to the cause. Being knowledgeable and approachable at the same time is a quality I find invaluable in the non-profit sector — and they achieve both tremendously.

Pollinator Partnership is one of the most authentic and motivated nonprofits I've interacted with. They are an incredible resource for science-based solutions and approachable for people with little knowledge about the environment. I love their engagement on social media, and they have a wonderful community presence. My favorite story is visiting their garden project at Russian River Vineyards.
For over two decades this science-based, practical and productive non-profit has been improving the landscape for pollinators - quietly and effectively making pollinators something on the radar of every land manager across North America and beyond - from farmers to gardeners to public land managers, Pollinator Partnership supports positive action on the ground for pollinators. Leveraging every dollar, Pollinator Partnership makes pollinator conservation, vital for our food and environment, happen every day. From the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) to Bee Friendly Farming to Global Pollinator Week to Monarch Wings Across America, the Pollinator Partnership signature programs are inclusive and productive.
I started learning about native plants from Kathleen of Pollinator Partnership Canada some years ago. With her help, we redid an entire area of our backyard that was overrun by Japanese Knotweed. In the span of one fall-spring, we not only managed to cut back the knotweed, but also introduce about 15 species of native plants to the area! A year later, and this is what I get to look at in the back corner of our yard that used to be a single stand of no activity. Now I have colour throughout the spring and fall, and the incredible number of bees, butterflies and other animals I have seen around this area is so amazing.
I have served as a volunteer for with the Pollinator Partnership (P2) for 8 years as member of the board of directors project team task forces. I also volunteer to work with staff on specific programs and projects. I have enjoyed my role as a volunteer and continue to be impressed with P2's achievements and reputation with those who have received guidance and assistance to protect pollinators.
The organization's mission is to protect pollinators of all types and the habitat required to support them. The organization works to achieve this objective by including" all interests" in developing programs and initiatives that support its mission.
Additionally, P2's programs are designed and managed to address the impacts of important environmental issues that affect pollinators including climate change, water availability and quality, soil health and population pressures.
To achieve this mission, P2 relies on a modest, dedicated, well educated and trained staff, which is supported by many more dedicated volunteers/citizen scientists.
P2 supports its work with grants and donations obtained with modest administrative and development expenditures.
The Pollinator Partnership is definitely worth consideration by donors who desire to support important conservation needs.
Pollinator Partnership has a clear mission to protect pollinators and their habitats across North America. They have a variety of educational programs for kids and adults that both inform and allow individuals to take action! I have learned a lot a.bout pollinators in my time as a volunteer!

This is a organization worth getting behind! Love everything they do to protect and promote our little pollinator friends. Their eco regional gardening guides makes it easy to implement a pollinator friendly habitat in your own home...I mean, who doesn’t want more butterflies fluttering around their backyard?!

Caring and informative staff to boot, I couldn’t recommend this non profit more!
