 In 2007 the U.S. Senate, initiated by Pollinator Partnership under Laurie Davies Adams, unanimously approved and designated a week in June as National Pollinator Week, marking a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Pollinating animals, including bees, birds, butterflies, bats, beetles and others, are vital to our delicate ecosystem, supporting terrestrial wildlife, providing healthy watershed, and more.
National Pollinator Week, June 21-27, 2021, is a week to celebrate pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them.
