It’s true! Insects face increasing threats from habitat loss and the effects of climate change.
Doug Ross, of NWI Times, spoke with members at a meeting of Indiana Green Drinks recently where the discussion was devoted to creating pollinator gardens.
Leslie Shad of Natural Habitat Evanston explained the nuts and bolts of getting started. She was joined by Victoria Wittig who shared flower selection and landscape designs, and Kathy Sipple of NWI Region Resilience, who shared her vision of making Northwest Indiana a certified (by the National Wildlife Federation) regional pollinator sanctuary.
