Pollinator Conservation Handbook: A Guide to Understanding, Protecting, and Providing Habitat for Native Pollinator Insects

The Pollinator Conservation Handbook is an indispensable resource for gardeners, farmers, and managers of parks, recreational areas, and wild lands. It will guide you through the steps for creating and improving habitat for insect pollinators, including selecting and planting forage flowers, providing nesting and egg-laying sites, and caring for your pollinator habitat over time. The Handbook also contains an extensive resources section and ideas for educational activities.

The Pollinator Conservation Handbook is produced by two of the leading organizations in pollinator conservation: The Xerces Society, a nonprofit organization that works to protect bees, butterflies, other invertebrates, and their habitats through advocacy, public outreach, and research; and The Bee Works, an environmental consultancy engaged in native bee research and conservation, pollinator surveys, and the development of insect-identification software.
