🐝🌼 June is Colorado Pollinator Month! 🌼🐝

This month we're celebrating the incredible pollinators that support our ecosystems, agriculture, health, and economy. From bees and butterflies to hummingbirds and beetles, pollinators play a vital role in maintaining the biodiversity that keeps our communities and watersheds healthy. 💚🌎

Here at the Fountain Creek Watershed District, we're helping create healthy habitat for pollinators through projects like our community raingardens! Planted with native botanical species, raingardens do more than just make your yard look pretty — they also help capture stormwater runoff, improve water quality, reduce erosion, and provide food and shelter for pollinators and other wildlife.🌿💧🦋

Want to support pollinators at home? Here are a few simple ways to help:

🌻 Plant native flowers and grasses
�🐝 Provide pollinator habitat
�🚫 Reduce pesticide use
�💧 Conserve water and support healthy watersheds

Healthy pollinators and healthy watersheds go hand in hand!

How are you celebrating Colorado Pollinator Month? 🌼
