Restoring One Million Acres, One Backyard Patch at a Time. Elevating Pollinator Awareness #PollinatorPatch The concept is three fold: 1). PollinatorPatch seed mixes are the best pollinator optimized seed mixes available and specially designed by eco-region and offered directly to consumers starting at $30 for 1000 square foot patch. 2). These coverage units, or #PollinatorPatches are then placed, quantified, and linked on the PatchTag map to quantify progress towards goal. 3). The final aspect of the program calls for all proceeds to be used to create a network of pollinator refuges, where certified established pollinator patches are protected by easements whereby the landowners agree to a pollinator centric mowing schedule, and pesticide free zones.
