This grant funded a Monarch and Pollinator Habitat Kit to expand needed habitat throughout Lancaster and Pennsylvania for pollinators like the monarch butterfly and numerous butterflies, bees, moths, hummingbirds, and a diversity of beneficial insects that pollinate our trees, shrubs, perennials and food crops. Join us to help plant 600+ native, pollinator friendly plants.
