This program is crucial for communities like Northfield, as we strive to raise awareness about the benefits of pollinators. Insects such as bees, butterflies, and moths serve to pollinate some important crops. Native plantings can also reduce runoff, eliminate the need to mow and increase carbon sequestration.<\/p>\n
