WSWP CONSERVATION MONTH: POLLINATE AUSTINPollinators, including native bees and honeybees, are vital for the preservation of ecological balance and biodiversity in nature, responsible for the reproduction of almost 90% of the world’s flowering plants, and play a role in bringing us one out of every three bites of food. Habitat loss is one of the greatest threats to bees today.<a href="https://www.wildspiritwildplaces.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wild Spirit Wild Places </a>(WSWP) and Desert Door are working in partnership with the City of Austin to maintain the newly-confirmed Bee City USA designation. This commitment to conserve native pollinators requires city staff, businesses, organizations, and community members to work together to make Austin a better place for pollinators. In support of this partnership, Desert Door and Wild Spirit Wild Places will implement a variety of events to meet the <a href="https://beecityusa.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Xerces Society’s Bee City USA</a> requirements by:<ul><li>Creating pollinator habitats on public and private land, and increasing the abundance of native plants and providing nest sites;</li><li>Hosting pollinator awareness and education events; and</li><li>Publicly acknowledging Bee City USA affiliation online and in print.</li></ul>OUR EXPERTRachel Raise is a licensed landscape architect and owner of<a href="https://www.raisedesign.studio/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Raise Design Studio</a>, a landscape studio that focuses on sustainable residential design.
