Pollinator Project- Spring 2023,

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. -Song of Songs 2:12 (NIV)

Pollinator Habitat Project

This area has been planted to native grasses and wildflowers preferred by pollinators. In Wisconsin, pollinators are bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, and some beetles and flies.

Wisconsin is home to many pollinators that are rare and in decline, including the federally endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, which has been observed locally. Pollinator habitat not only provides valuable habitat for pollinators, but also non-pollinating insects, grassland birds (including upland game birds), waterfowl, , bats and other wildlife. This pollinator habitat planting supports Wisconsin’s pollinators by providing food (pollen and nectar), protection from insecticides and herbicides, and shelter in the form of bunch grasses, stems, and exposed areas of soil. Pollinator populations are in decline due to a variety of threats, including habitat loss and degradation. Pollinator conservation is critical because their losses threaten Wisconsin’s agricultural crops, native plants, and ecosystems.

*This habitat was planted thanks to a grant from US Fish & Wildlife Service, Pheasants Forever, The Brown County Land & Water Conservation Department, The Wild Ones Green Bay Chapter, and Stone Silo Prairie Gardens.


Proyecto Hábitat de Polinizadores

Esta área ha sido plantada con pastos nativos y flores silvestres preferidas por los polinizadores. En Wisconsin, los polinizadores son abejas, mariposas, polillas, colibríes y algunos escarabajos y moscas.

Wisconsin es el hogar de muchos polinizadores que son raros y están en declive, incluido el abejorro parcheado oxidado en peligro de extinción a nivel federal, que se ha observado localmente. El hábitat de los polinizadores no solo proporciona un hábitat valioso para los polinizadores, sino también para insectos no polinizadores, aves de pastizales (incluidas las aves de caza de tierras altas), aves acuáticas, murciélagos y otros animales salvajes. Esta plantación de hábitat de polinizadores apoya a los polinizadores de Wisconsin al proporcionar alimentos (polen y néctar), protección contra insecticidas y herbicidas, y refugio en forma de pastos en racimos, tallos y áreas expuestas del suelo. Las poblaciones de polinizadores están en declive debido a una variedad de amenazas, incluida la pérdida y degradación del hábitat. La conservación de los polinizadores es crítica porque sus pérdidas amenazan los cultivos agrícolas, las plantas nativas y los ecosistemas de Wisconsin.

* Este hábitat fue plantado gracias a una subvención de US Fish & Wildlife Service, Pheasants Forever, The Brown County Land & Water Conservation Department, The Wild Ones Green Bay Chapter, and Stone Silo Prairie Gardens.

Pollinator Project, Fall 2022,

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. -Song of Songs 2:12 (NIV)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Beginning, late August 2022, this area will begin it’s transformation from turf grass to pollinator habitat. Project location is on the southwest corner of The Salvation Army property, between the maintenance garage and Lime Kiln. The first stage, will be to terminate the turfgrass, which will be with a suitable and approved chemical treatment, during this time you will notice the grasses turning brown, and drying up. The second stage, will be to ready the area for a fall seeding, October 20, 2022, where staff and members are encouraged to come join us- invitation to come soon. The native grass and wildflower mix that has been selected will need to be seeded in the fall in order to fully reach it’s potential by spring, overwintering the native seeds are crucial step in this process.

In spring, Save-the-Date for a community Earth Day event at the Kroc Center, on Saturday, April 22, 2023- invitation to be sent early 2023. On this date, we will officially unveil the pollinator project to our neighbors, members, staff, and the community. For this event, there will be keynote speakers, educational activities for kids, snacks, giveaways, and more.

Once mature, in summer 2023, this area will be planted with native grasses and wildflowers preferred by pollinators. In Wisconsin, pollinators include bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, and some beetles and flies. Wisconsin is home to many pollinators that are rare and in decline, including the federally endangered Rusty Patched Bumblebee, which has been observed locally.

This pollinator habitat will not only provide valuable habitat for pollinators, but also non-pollinating insects, grassland birds (including upland game birds), waterfowl, bats, and other wildlife. This pollinator habitat planting will support Wisconsin’s pollinators by providing food (pollen and nectar), protection from insecticides and herbicides, and shelter in the form of bunch grasses, stems, and exposed areas of soil. Pollinator populations are in decline due to a variety of threats, including habitat loss and degradation.

Pollinator conservation is critical because their losses threaten Wisconsin’s agricultural crops, native, plants and ecosystems.

This project was planted through a partnership with the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Pheasants Forever, The Brown County Land & Water Conservation Department, The Wild Ones Green Bay Chapter, and Stone Silo Prairie Gardens.

Community Sunflower Project, Summer 2022,

You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it. You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.
The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.
The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
-Psalm 65:9-13
