Do you love bees and want to help them? You can make a difference by showing your support for a new Colorado pollinator license plate.听
This month听the state legislature is听considering a new special license plate that will support conservation efforts throughout the state to protect pollinators. The听initiative will raise funding for work with state agencies, municipal governments听and private landowners to protect and increase pollinator-friendly gardens, parks, open space, and highway margins across the state. 听
One of the community engagements of Louise Chawla, a CEDaR fellow, is serving on the leadership committee of People and Pollinators Action Network, a statewide group that works for healthy ecosystems and biodiverse habitat for pollinators and the web of life of which they are an essential part.
"Not only are pollinators necessary for many of the crops that feed people, but they also sustain many of the wildflowers and flowering trees and shrubs on Colorado鈥檚 wildlands," she says.
But before the legislature can vote, the state needs to know that the public supports this new license plate, which means collecting 3,000 signatures from Colorado car owners.听Please 鈥搃t only takes about one minute鈥揳nd听share with your friends and networks.听听You are听not committing to get the plate when it is created鈥攋ust endorsing the idea.听
