2019 grantee @funksgrovehfg in McLean, IL, was able to purchase ten bee boxes, four bat boxes, two owl boxes, and plant two 2000-square-foot pollinator plots with their grant! They were also able to host a local community college class, in which students learned about the pollinator plantings. Partner Jeff Hake told us, “We will gain real rewards from the ecosystem services provided by increased pollinator and predator activity on our farm, bolstering fruit set in our orchard and reducing pest pressure, making our farm both more profitable and more pleasant to engage with and visit.” Learn more through the link in our bio! #SmallFarmsBigImpacts
