Pollinator facts

Reversing pollinator decline

Scientists documented that over 45 % of insects are threatened with extinction, but they also say we can all play a role in their survival by creating habitat in our yards & neighbourhood.

There is hope.

Research proves why pollinators are important

Pollinators ensure reproduction for more than 90 % of the world’s flowering plants.

Invertebrate species have declined 45 % over the past four decades.

Pollinators need our help.

Food Production depends on insect pollination

Without the right habitat, the pollinator population will continue to decline with a drastic impact on local food production. One-third of the food we eat depend on insect pollination.

Our farmers need pollinators.

Our Local Gardens

Since inception, we have helped establish and register a total of 34 pollinator gardens, of which 13 are canoe gardens, 10 public gardens and 11 private gardens. Also, with our assistance, TBM has Butterflyway status with the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF), one of only 119 in Canada.

Please contact us if you wish to have your garden certified as part of The Butterflyway Project under The David Suzuki Foundation.

The success of our projects is only possible with the hard work of our local community!
