Maintaining a lush, green lawn often requires significant time, effort, and water, making it a resource-intensive endeavor. If you are seeking a more sustainable, low-maintenance alternative that also supports local ecosystems, consider the benefits of a pollinator meadow. These vibrant landscapes, filled with native plants and wildflowers, provide essential habitat for bees and other pollinators while offering a visually striking and environmentally friendly replacement for traditional turfgrass.
To help community members make this transformation, Clark Conservation District, in collaboration with the Water Resources Education Center and the Vancouver Bee Project, is hosting a fall workshop dedicated to converting lawns into thriving pollinator meadows. Participants will gain valuable insights into the benefits of native plants, techniques for establishing meadows, and strategies for maintaining these habitats to ensure long-term success.
For more information on this workshop, including registration details, we invite you to subscribe to the Clark Conservation District newsletter. Stay informed and join us in creating landscapes that are both beautiful and beneficial to pollinators. Sign up today at https://www.clarkcd.org/#newsletter.
Palouse Conservation District’s FLOURISH program is a farmer-led effort advancing soil health and climate resilience across the Inland Northwest.
Generations of farming along Hangman Creek have faced erosion and water quality challenges. Through a partnership between the Spokane and Pine Creek Conservation Districts and the Washington State Department of Ecology, local landowners are restoring natural stream channels, planting native vegetation, and stabilizing creek banks, all while keeping working lands productive. Together, they’re proving that voluntary conservation benefits both farms and fish.
