Native to the Eastern United States, black cohosh is the sole host plant for the Appalachian Azure butterfly. Support the Appalachian Azure and 94 other at-risk pollinator species by planting what they need: landscapeinteractions.com/pollinatenow

Pollinator/native plant folks: this guy is doing extraordinary work, including a bioregional pollinator plan along the Hudson River involving 51 communities. Check it out! @hart_hagan @cognitivepolicy @Bio4Climate @Soil_Centric @BugLundgren #PollinateNow

How to save New York state pollinators--and the plants they depend on. Important stuff based on serious research.

Pollen-gathering feast featuring the at-risk Bombus terricola with Lasioglossum subgenus Lasioglossum, Andrena sp. and Lasioglossum subgenus Dialictus (Metallic sweat bees). Music: Boris with Michio Kurihara #landscapedesign #nativeplants #biodiversity

Spiraea alba is a shrub that is often mistaken for a flower, and can be established from both seed and plug. It is a preferred pollen source for at-risk bumblebees as well as solitary bees across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Central United States. landscapeinteractions.com/pollinatenow

In 2020, Landscape Interactions converted a public park of mowed grass into a biodiverse landscape design to support pollinators. Now we have 7 bumblebee species on site, including 2 at-risk species. Science informs the design, guides the process and measures the results.

@judithdschwartz @gregory_landua Depends on what the goals are. Ecological restoration? Climate resilience planning? Socio-cultural?

Question: What's the ideal scale for a bioregion? Thinking of western New England. Between the Deerfield and Hudson Rivers? Between the Connecticut and the Hudson? Starting a convo with colleague in the Hudson Valley. Any thoughts @gregory_landua?

Humans depend upon wild pollinators and biodiversity for our health and survival. Food systems can’t be supported by honeybees alone. ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EH…

Check out this salt/drought-tolerant sidewalk strip design we did for Northampton, MA - can’t wait to bring this approach to the future Brooklyn Pollinator Corridor with @V6A_coLab! Using native plants to build #biodiversity and support at-risk #pollinators, one city at a time.

We’re looking forward to working with @V6A_coLab on the Brooklyn Pollinator Network 🐝 If you live in Brooklyn and want to turn your yard, tree pit, or sidewalk strip into native pollinator habitat, respond to the open call for participants here: tinyurl.com/ndf3dxrz

84 years ago we understood that burning fossil fuels was raising the levels of CO₂ in the atmosphere, and causing the planet to warm. The theory was understood earlier but this was the first observation & attribution of climate change. #COP27 In 1938. rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Such a vital, well-researched plan, which can be replicated/adapted throughout coastal New England. Thx for doing the heavy lifting for #pollinators @Soil_Centric @bio4climate @MitchAnthony
