National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) is guest host on #Landscapechat during National Pollinator Week, June 15-21, 2015.

Why are pollinators important? Pollinators are often keystone species, meaning that they are critical to an ecosystem. The work of pollinators ensures full harvests of crops and contributes to healthy plants everywhere. · An estimated 1/3 of all foods and beverages is delivered by pollinators. In the U.S., pollination produces nearly $20 billion worth of products annually.

Most often we think of honey bees, but many other pollinators are also important. Find out about local events surrounding National Pollinator Week.
