Native pollinators have been on the decline across the globe. Their role in the ecosystem provides a basis for plant proliferation and survival. However, creating a pollinator garden to help bolster native pollinator populations requires a complex and interconnected system of plants, pollinators, and maintenance. The team was tasked with researching and compiling the necessary components to create a comprehensive plan for Rauscher Farms (in Clinton, Massachusetts) to implement a pollinator garden. The team consulted with researchers as well as local conservation land managers to not only develop a stronger understanding of the problems native pollinators face, but to provide an adaptable plan for the management committee at Rauscher Farms to utilize.
