Our Mission
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. TO INSPIRE OTHERS. TO CREATE. TO PRESERVE.
Developing or protecting habitat for each native Pollineighbor™ and creating a buzz about our larger Pollineighborhood™ community through engagement, discovery and education is at the heart of what we do. Any space can contribute to being a part of the Pollineighborhood. Large or small. Backyard or balcony. Highway medium or abandoned lot. All you need to do is be energized about being a great Pollineighbor! Lets go for it!
