Pollinate Now: A Bioregional Strategy for Habitat Restoration

Pollinators are integral to the web of life, pivotal links in our food and ecosystems. One in three bites of our food is the result of pollinators’ work. And yet, over half of New York’s native pollinator species is at risk of extirpation or has not been found since 2000.

Pollinate Now is a plan to create the largest pollinator corridor in the United States, spanning 51 Hudson Valley communities across four watersheds. It is a roadmap for biodiversity and ecological resilience in New York State built by community and based on science.

On Tuesday, December 5, Rye Nature Center hosted the speaker Evan Abramson, the driving force behind Pollinate Now. The presentation describes his vision for providing ways to support at-risk bees, butterflies and moths.
