“Knowing that we must preserve ecosystems with as many of their interacting species as possible defines our challenge in no uncertain terms.” – Doug Tallamy

The Massachusetts Pollinator Network focuses its attention on supporting pollinators for a very simple reason: insects are the foundation for which life on Earth relies. Think of them as the entry point for addressing the biodiversity crisis. Supporting pollinators by creating healthy, pesticide-free habitat helps manatees, bald eagles, elephants, and every other species on the planet.
