Get Involved

Every small action creates a ripple of positive change for our pollinators.

Ways to Help

No matter your skills or schedule, there's a way for you to make a difference.

Claim Free Milkweed

We're the only program in the country giving away 4,000+ free milkweed plants — host monarch caterpillars in your own yard.

Convert Your Lawn

Trade turf grass for native wildflowers and milkweed. We provide free plants, seed packets, and step-by-step planting guides.

Volunteer

Join us at habitat restoration workdays, community plantings, and pollinator counts throughout the season.

Attend a Workshop

Learn turf-to-meadow conversion, milkweed care, native plants, and pollinator-friendly gardening at our free workshops.

Adopt Sustainable Practices

Reduce or eliminate pesticide use, leave natural areas unmowed, and create nesting sites for ground-nesting bees.

Join Our Events

From the annual Pollinator Festival at Warwick Valley Winery to guided nature walks, there's always something happening.

Spread the Word

Tell neighbors, schools, and community groups about free milkweed and lawn conversion. Every conversation plants a seed.
