🌼🐝 Pollinator Week Project Spotlight 🐝🌼

Our second spotlight takes us to 📍Browns Valley Elementary School, where a pollinator garden is growing from the ground up! 🌿✨

A small garden was planted in 2025, and this winter it will expand into a larger native pollinator garden that will provide year-round habitat for pollinators, beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife. 🦋🐦🌸

More than 500 students have already helped prepare the site by removing invasive plants, installing sheet mulch, and learning about pollinators through this future outdoor classroom. 🌱💚

The garden is still a work in progress, but we're excited to watch it come to life this fall and winter! 🌻✨ We all have a role to play in supporting pollinators and healthy habitats. 💚

Special thanks to: (Add tags: Napa RCD, Monarch Joint Venture, Browns Valley Elementary School teacher Danielle D'Amour, Napa Recycling, Rothur Estate Landscaping, Wildlife Conservation Board, CARCD.)

🌼🐝 Proyecto Destacado de la Semana de los Polinizadores 🐝🌼

Nuestro segundo proyecto destacado nos lleva a la 📍Escuela Primaria Browns Valley, donde un jardín para polinizadores está comenzando a florecer. 🌿✨

En 2025 se plantó un pequeño jardín y, este invierno, crecerá para convertirse en un jardín de plantas nativas que brindará hábitat durante todo el año a polinizadores, insectos benéficos, aves y otra fauna. 🦋🐦🌸

Más de 500 estudiantes ya han participado retirando plantas invasoras, instalando acolchado y aprendiendo sobre los polinizadores mientras preparan este futuro salón de clases al aire libre. 🌱💚

Aunque el proyecto aún está en desarrollo, ¡estamos emocionados por verlo cobrar vida este otoño e invierno! 🌻✨

👉 Etiquétanos en tus proyectos para polinizadores. ¡Todos podemos ayudar a crear hábitats saludables para ellos! 💚

Agradecimientos especiales a: (Agregar etiquetas: Napa RCD, Monarch Joint Venture, la maestra Danielle D'Amour de Browns Valley Elementary School, Napa Recycling, Rothur Estate Landscaping, Wildlife Conservation Board y CARCD.)

🌿🐝 It's Pollinator Week! 🦋🌼

We're celebrating the birds, bees, bats, butterflies, and beneficial insects that help keep our ecosystems healthy. 💚 This week, we'll be highlighting two local pollinator projects that are making a difference in our community, so stay tuned!

🌻✨ Want to help pollinators thrive? Even small actions at home can make a big impact:

🌼 Plant native flowers
💧 Provide a shallow water source for wildlife
🐝 Leave some natural areas undisturbed, especially during the dormant season (some insects like to hide in stems and soil during the winter!)
🚫 Avoid pesticide and herbicide use
🌸 Choose native plants that bloom throughout the year

📍 Did you know? Pollinators contribute billions of dollars to California agriculture each year by helping pollinate fruits, nuts, vegetables, and seed crops. 🌱🍓🥜🌻

Every flower planted helps support the pollinators that keep our landscapes productive, resilient, and beautiful. 🐝🦋🐦🦇

👉 What's your favorite pollinator to spot in the garden?

☀️ As we welcome summer, we’re celebrating a year of curiosity, discovery, and connection in nature.

Because of our partners and supporters, we helped bring outdoor conservation experiences to students across Napa County:
🌿 1,300+ K–12 students participated
🌿 19 schools engaged in conservation science and stewardship
🌿 4 extra hours of outdoor learning per student
🌿 4.6⭐ average field trip rating from Green Futures students at Valley Oak High School

Some of our favorite moments came from WILD Napa 4th graders:
🐛 “Does an orange and black caterpillar turn into a monarch butterfly?”
🐝 “Will that bee get poison oak?”
🌼 “Flower alert!”
🐜 “Oh—it’s home to ants.”
🌱 “Now this is a cool plant.”

These questions, observations, and moments of wonder are what outdoor education is all about. Thank you for helping us inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. 💚

🤝 This year, we are able to provide opportunities to schools no-cost thanks to donors, grants, and partners including: Lewis Cellars Community Grants, Napa County, Napa County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program, Innovative Health Solutions, Health and Human Services Agency, Napa County, North Bay Watershed Association , Napa County Wildlife Conservation Commission, and a gift from Steve Rasmussen and Felicia Woytak.
