S-building landscape discussion with Shoreview Natives (update and certification options from Dan)
“Certifying a pollinator site is a cinch. There are a couple of options:
- Certified Monarch Waystation – The Monarch Watch program sponsors this out of Kansas University. Good program to support, pretty popular to certify with them.
- National Wildlife Federation Habitat Certification – NWF has a habitat certification program that this installation would qualify for.
- Xerces Society– Xerces is an international invertebrate conservation NGO, kind of nice to promote them, and the sign is very descriptive of what the site accomplishes.
- Wild Ones Butterfly Garden – Wild Ones has a robust chapter in the Arrowhead, I think I saw you present with them one time…? They have a nice looking sign
All of these are $20-30 to certify, so pretty affordable.”
