Building biodiversity and resilience to a changing climate at the ecosystems level through pollinator-plant interactions.

Native to the Eastern United States, black cohosh is the sole host plant for the Appalachian Azure butterfly. Support the Appalachian Azure and 94 other at-risk pollinator species by planting what they need: https://t.co/lgHKGd483B

Pollinator/native plant folks: this guy is doing extraordinary work, including a bioregional pollinator plan along the Hudson River involving 51 communities. Check it out! @hart_hagan @cognitivepolicy @Bio4Climate @Soil_Centric @BugLundgren #PollinateNow

How to save New York state pollinators--and the plants they depend on. Important stuff based on serious research.

Pollen-gathering feast featuring the at-risk Bombus terricola with Lasioglossum subgenus Lasioglossum, Andrena sp. and Lasioglossum subgenus Dialictus (Metallic sweat bees). Music: Boris with Michio Kurihara #landscapedesign #nativeplants #biodiversity

Spiraea alba is a shrub that is often mistaken for a flower, and can be established from both seed and plug. It is a preferred pollen source for at-risk bumblebees as well as solitary bees across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Central United States.

In 2020, Landscape Interactions converted a public park of mowed grass into a biodiverse landscape design to support pollinators.

Now we have 7 bumblebee species on site, including 2 at-risk species.

Science informs the design, guides the process and measures the results.

@judithdschwartz @gregory_landua Depends on what the goals are. Ecological restoration? Climate resilience planning? Socio-cultural?

Northeast people! Presenting our chat about designing climate-resilient food and pollination systems on a working farm. For your commute to work or putting the little ones to sleep. https://t.co/zagElIZrEi

[Evan Abramson @land_interact]

Humans depend upon wild pollinators and biodiversity for our health and survival. Food systems can’t be supported by honeybees alone. https://t.co/aBcmH5KjZM

Check out this salt/drought-tolerant sidewalk strip design we did for Northampton, MA - can’t wait to bring this approach to the future Brooklyn Pollinator Corridor with @V6A_coLab! Using native plants to build #biodiversity and support at-risk #pollinators, one city at a time.

[Evan Abramson @land_interact]

We’re looking forward to working with @V6A_coLab on the Brooklyn Pollinator Network 🐝 If you live in Brooklyn and want to turn your yard, tree pit, or sidewalk strip into native pollinator habitat, respond to the open call for participants here: https://t.co/PA1VxKUJlW

84 years ago we understood that burning fossil fuels was raising the levels of CO₂ in the atmosphere, and causing the planet to warm.

The theory was understood earlier but this was the first observation & attribution of climate change. #COP27

In 1938.

Such a vital, well-researched plan, which can be replicated/adapted throughout coastal New England. Thx for doing the heavy lifting for #pollinators @Soil_Centric @bio4climate @MitchAnthony

Landscape Interactions launches Farming for Biodiversity, a guide for creating habitat on farmscapes across Martha’s Vineyard to support at-risk pollinators. https://t.co/grcBasVobT @MassPollinators @bymattkelly @alannogee @judithdschwartz @RegenFdn @DaveGoulson
