Past Projects
Enhanced Farmland for Pollinators, Crops, and Soil
Through the California Department of Food and Agriculture Pollinator Habitat Program, each project was designed to select regionally appropriate species that supported pollinators and soil health. Priority was given to plant species with high establishment rates, low costs, drought tolerance, low maintenance needs, and soil health benefits. Pollinator Partnership, CAFF, and WFA offered webinars and onsite trainings and provided support for IPM implementation and monitoring throughout the program.
