Each spring as the ice melts and the temperature rises the Adirondacks begin to buzz with the sound of new life. Budding native plants and the pollinators that rely on them—like bees, moths and butterflies—help keep our environment healthy and ecosystems strong. Learn how kids in Elizabethtown, NY are working to ensure these pollinators survive and thrive, by installing a pesticide-free pollinator garden right outside their classroom and inspiring others to do the same.
