About Pollinator Week

Organized by The Pollinator Partnership, Pollinator Week recognizes the importance of pollinators and the effect they have on the world’s ecosystems, economies, and agriculture. Pollinators are central to sustainable food systems and depend on native plants, which in turn contribute to healthy soil and clean water.
