Actions:
Volunteer for cleanup and stewardship events within the Tribe, college, city, and county. Build your connection with the natural world and with your community through enjoying time outdoors. Buy locally produced or organic foods. Walk, bicycle, or use public transportation when available to minimize your vehicle and energy usage. Reduce your consumption, prevent additional waste when able, reuse, and recycle. We can help pollinators by improving our landscapes by planting native lawns, gardens, large-scale plots, plants, and trees. Do what you can, when you can – every little bit counts and can make a difference. Install bat houses and/or nest boxes for native pollinators. Pollinators need water to survive especially during hot summer months. Add a water source to your garden, such as a birdbath with pebbles or a shallow dish filled with water.
