Port City Pollinator Project

When you’re planning for native pollinators and other wildlife in your yard, remember that the plants are just as important after their life as during it. Those dried stems and seed heads provide food and nesting materials for countless species of insects, birds, small mammals and even reptiles. Many of our native pollinators lay their eggs in hollow sticks and moist warm leaf piles, many of the next spring’s fertile queens will burrow and hibernate, and if you bag or burn it all… well then we just can’t have nice things then can we.

We had a fantastic class with the Baldwin County 4H club this week! We were hosted by the magical Kitti Cooper at in Foley. They’re having an anniversary celebration tomorrow at the farm on hwy 59. Y’all go check it out and get some berry bushes and citrus plants because pollinators love them and they make food!

Did y’all know Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo has camps all summer long? I knew because they invited me to come talk to the campers about protecting the pollinators! ✌️💛🐝
