Hi bee buddies! Spring is just around the corner, and as we dig out from the snow we thought we’d check in with our partners at NCC to hear about how their year of unBEElievable conservation work went!

The last time we checked, the team had just received the native seed mix they needed to plant in Saskatchewan’s Key West property. They were waiting to plant it until winter, when it would get planted with winter wheat to help it grow healthy and full of nutrients. They’d already done lots to get the space ready for planting, including controlling weeds throughout the summer, and another 40 acre spot on the property that had been previously planted after the same process saw great success with its native blooms – super promising! That means it’s only a matter of time before this native mix blooms too and the western bumblebee has tons of amazing new habitat to enjoy!

This amazing project would not have been possible without the hundreds of amazing Earth Rangers who purchased an Adoption Kit to protect our bee buddies last year. Keep up the good work, animal-saving heroes! Check out the Adoptions Section in the Earth Rangers App to see what new projects we’re supporting this year, and keep up the great work, animal-saving heros!
