Who We Are

The Pollinator Partnership (P2) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California. P2 works to protect the health of managed and native pollinating animals vital to our North American ecosystems and agriculture.

Our website is a premiere source of information for consumers, gardeners, land managers, educators, resource managers, producers, and farmers to help pollinators, essential components for all of life. P2 collaborates with stakeholders who manage or influence landscapes to do a better job of sharing the landscape with pollinators. The Pollinator Partnership is formerly the 501(c)(3) non-profit Coevolution Institute.

Our Mission

Pollinator Partnership's mission is powerful in its simplicity- to catalyze stewardship of biodiversity.
P2's stewardship: Ensure the future. Enrich the present.

Pollinator Awards
The Pollinator Awards are an important part of an international effort to promote public awareness about pollinators – birds, bees, bats, butterflies, beetles, and other pollinating animals that enable the reproduction of over 75 percent of flowering plants, accounting for as much as one-third of the nation’s food supply. More information about the Awards is available at http://www.pollinator.org/awards.htm.

Ecoregional Planting Guides for Pollinators
Ecoregional Guides, “Selecting Plants for Pollinators,” are available for 31 ecoregions in the U.S. These guides are practical tools for farmers, ranchers, gardeners and public and private land managers who want to share their landscapes by establishing habitat for pollinators through native plants that are specific to their own region. The guides are available for free at http://www.pollinator.org/guides.htm. All users need is their zip code, and an online Zip Code Habitat Locator will connect them to their map and guide.
