Pollinators

The Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT) strives to promote good health and habitat for a variety of pollinators in urban and suburban regions on the Lower Shore by encouraging the use of native plants. The certification program provides resources for people who wish to implement practices which support pollinator habitat. It’s vital that the lack of pollination is compensated for in order to ensure a thriving ecosystem, and this is where YOU can help! Turn your garden into a pollinator paradise today! Review the certification criteria (Criteria) fill out the Pollinator Friendly Garden interest form (Interest Form) and email to info@lowershorelandtrust.org. Once we receive your interest form we will send additional resource materials for habitat enhancement activities. Fill out the online application or download forms on our website and send (with photos) to LSLT for review. Once approved, you will receive you Pollinator Friendly garden sign and recognition from LSLT.
