KNPS is restoring meadows on Kootenay Lake!
Through the Wildflowers for Pollinators: Citizen Science Meadowscaping Project (W4P) we are working with Kootenay Lake residents to collect wildflower seeds and make meadows that will support native pollinators. Find out more about the project and how you can become involved here.
“…the single most effective action you can take [to support bees and pollination services] is to plant native wildflower habitat.”
