Pollinators Fun Patch

Bees, butterflies, birds and bats are among the many types of pollinators that move pollen from one flower to another which makes seed and fruits.
While visting a flower, the pollen usually sticks to the body of a pollinator which rubs off when it lands on a new flower.
Pollination helps create healthy ecosystems by enabling plant growth which provides oxygen, clean air and stabilize soil as well as providing habitat and food for animals and people.

Many botanical gardens, arboretums and audobon centers offer an opportunity for your troop to take a trip and learn about pollinators and how to help them thrive.

There are also many videos and printable resources to help troops learn about pollinators during a troop meeting.

Help your troop or service unit learn about the native flowering plants for your area.
Creating a pollinator friendly garden in your community is a great service project that also helps improve the planet.

Creating houses for birds, bats or bees makes a great service project for troops that prefer to work indoors.
