It's Pollinator Week, an annual celebration for the wonderful animals that pollinate our farm fields and gardens. Many animals, from songbirds and small mammals to grizzly bears and coyotes get a large portion of their diet from the berries, nuts, seeds, and other fruits that pollinators help produce. Taking a week to collectively celebrate these animals that help feed the planet, seems like the least we can do. Here are some tangible ways for you to get involved: become a community scientist, sign the Pollinator Protection Pledge, join us for an event, or plant a pollinator garden. We have all the resources you need to get involved at xerces.org/get-involved.

NEWSFLASH — New info on NJ’s Single Use Plastic Ban

NEW JERSEY’S BAN ON SINGLE-USE PLASTIC PRODUCTS TAKES EFFECT IN ONE YEAR
Businesses Urged To Prepare Now For New Requirements
TRENTON – New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Acting Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette are joining forces today to encourage Garden State business owners to prepare for the launch of New Jersey’s ban on single-use carryout bags and polystyrene foam food service products in stores and food service businesses.
On Nov. 4, 2020, Governor Phil Murphy signed into law P.L. 2020, c117, which prohibits the use of single-use plastic carryout bags in all stores and food service businesses statewide and single-use paper carryout bags in grocery stores that occupy at least 2,500 square feet beginning May 4, 2022. The law is designed to reduce pollution and protect New Jersey’s environment and economy for generations to come.

Congratulations to Moorestown’s Bennett Davenpor

Congratulations to Moorestown’s Bennett Davenport for winning first place in the Species On The Edge 2.0 Social Media Contest!

Bennett's nature documentary approach to Species on the Edge with his show, The Budget Museum, brought a unique and engaging energy to this year's contest. His fully produced videos about NJ's ospreys showed a great deal of talent and hard work, while also grabbing viewer's attention with humor and creativity. With a clear dedication and care for wildlife education, we hope to see Bennett continue his efforts to educate us about animals, both modern and prehistoric.

We're so glad to name Bennett's campaign this year's winner for Species on the Edge 2.0.

Congratulations Bennett, and job well done!

Check out Bennett’s work at @thebudgetmuseum!

Also congratulations to his competitors!@protectthepipingplovers

As temperatures warm across the country, bees are

As temperatures warm across the country, bees are starting to emerge from their nests and forage for nectar and pollen. If you live in an urban area you may notice a lot of concrete and manicured lawns but not many flowering plants that provide the pollen and nectar that bees rely on to survive and raise their offspring. We're trying to change that.

Join communities across the country for No Mow May, an initiative to help support early season pollinators by allowing your yard to grow for the month of May. Learn more about the history of No Mow May, how to participate, and additional steps you can take to help out the bees, butterflies, and other insects that support our planet by visiting Bee City USA's No Mow May webpage or reading our No Mow May blog post. We realize that many cities may have rules that are intended to control noxious weeds, but which you might fall afoul of simply by allowing your grass to grow. If so, consider using this as the spark to begin figuring out how to achieve a change or suspension of such rules for next year!

Check out Bee City USA No Mow May for more information and fun activities!
