What you can do to...

...to protect Canada’s pollinators

• Plant a variety of perennials that produce flowers of different shapes, colours and blooming times. Not surprisingly, native species are best for encouraging our homegrown pollinators.
• Reduce or eliminate your use of pesticides and herbicides that poison friend and foe alike, and that accumulate in the environment that we all share.
• Create habitat for pollinators as part of a WILD School habitat. Visit the Wild Education website for more information.
• Write to your municipality and school board and ask them if they have a "no cosmetic pesticide" policy. If they have a policy, congratulate them. If they do not, encourage them to consider it.
• Spread the word! Check out Hinterland Who’s Who webisode, "Pollinators – Busy Doing What?" or the 2008 National Wildlife Week
• Donate to the CWF »

Together, we can make a difference!
