As we’re wrapping up Pollinator Month, it’s important to remember that bees aren’t the only pollinating species. Flies, butterflies and moths are insect pollinators. Bats and birds, especially hummingbirds, are also pollinators, namely with night-blooming flowers (bats) and long, tubular flowers (hummingbirds).

Clean. Drain. Dry.
Zebra mussels spread easily between lakes and rivers by hitching rides on boats, trailers and equipment. Once established, they can damage infrastructure, alter aquatic ecosystems and threaten native species. Cleaning, draining and drying your boat and gear after every outing helps stop their spread.

Play. Clean. Go.
Seeds and invasive plants can travel farther than you think on boots, bikes, pets and vehicles. Before leaving an area, brush off mud and debris to help protect Nebraska’s prairies, trails and wildlife habitat.

Burn it where you buy it.
Moving firewood may seem harmless, but it can spread destructive insects like emerald ash borer to new areas. Buying and burning local firewood helps keep Nebraska’s forests healthy.
Small actions make a big difference in protecting Nebraska’s natural resources.
