Bee City and Bee Campus USA: Protecting Pollinators One Community at a Time

An important element in the success of pollinator conservation efforts is communities of passionate people taking action. Today we will highlight one Xerces Society program that is helping people to do just that, Bee City USA. Established in 2012, Bee City has been uniting communities around a shared goal of creating meaningful change for pollinators through policy change, habitat creation, and education. 

To tell us about this wonderful program is Laura Rost, National Coordinator of Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA. Laura has been with the Xerces Society since 2014, first working in Membership, before transitioning into this role. Before Xerces, she worked for a variety of environmental groups on issues ranging from instream water rights to green building.
