Fondy Pollinator Project

The goal of this project is to create and preserve pollinator friendly habitats in and around Fond du Lac, as well as obtain Bee City USA status.

What is Bee City USA?

Thinking globally and acting locally, Bee City USA brings communities together to sustain pollinators by increasing the abundance of native plants, providing nest sites, and reducing the use of pesticides. Affiliates of Bee City USA also work to inspire others to take steps to conserve pollinators through education and outreach.

Bee City USA affiliates make commitments to conserve native pollinators, laid out in a resolution adopted by the local city council.
