One of the most important things you can do to help support Pollinating Insects like Bees, Moths, and Butterflies is to plant Native Trees and Shrubs in your landscape. Certain “Keystone” species like Oaks, Cherries, Willows, and Birches provide food and shelter to many different wildlife, making them a huge support for local ecosystems.

And, Fall is the best time of year for planting Native Trees and Shrubs, as they get to sit in the ground after being planted, all winter and Spring establishing root growth, without having to do any above ground work like leaf or stem growth. Learn the tips, tricks, and techniques to plant trees and shrubs that will help with the long-term health of both the trees in your yard, and the entire diverse ecosystem which supports us all
