Landscaping for Pollinators Education in Douglas County

Project Focus
Invasive Species
Pollinator Habitat
Pollinators

Master Naturalist volunteers share their knowledge with adults in the community through programs on pollinator landscaping. Partnering with local libraries and community organizations, we offer workshops and presentations that highlight the role of native plants in supporting bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators. Participants learn practical tips on choosing plants, designing pollinator-friendly gardens, and creating habitats that benefit both wildlife and people. These sessions spark engaging discussions, and many attendees leave with plans to make changes in their own backyards. By building partnerships with trusted community hubs, we're able to reach a wide audience and show how even small-scale gardening decisions can make a big difference for pollinator health and biodiversity.
