Saturday Issue: Regular (NAPSI)—Remember the Lorax, who spoke for the trees? Dr. Seuss’ tale laid important ground- work by encouraging the next generation to care about the environment. As Seuss wrote, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Regardless of age or ability, students who care “a whole awful lot” can become some of bees’ best advocates. With pollinators fac- ing challenges including a lack of forage (food) that provides them with proper nutrition and habitat, we have a great opportunity to empow- er the next generation to “speak for the bees” and give them the tools to help. Impact Beyond the Classroom When kindergartners at Th e Orchard School in Indianapolis learned they wouldn’t have chocolate without pol- linators, what began as a snack time discussion led to a burning desire to help. Th eir curricu- lum model allowed stu- dents to work together to plant and maintain a pollinator-attractant garden, which more than 15 species visit reg- ularly. To further this student-driven impact, the school applied for funding through the Bayer Feed a Bee pro- gram, which provides grants to create forage areas to feed bees and other pollinators. Th is spring, the grant will fund the renova- tion of an older butterfl y garden, broadening it to serve more pollinators by planting native wild- fl owers and installing “pocket beds” of annual fl ower species. Students across grade levels will participate in plant se- lection, plant rearing and garden design. “Th ere is nothing more powerful in educa- tion than student voice,” wrote Vicky Prusinski, science specialist at Th e Orchard School. “Fund- ing for this project quite literally allows my stu- dents to put their money where their mouths are and do what they pas- sionately feel compelled to do.” Agriculture- Siuslaw Riverfront mansion on 1.9 acre Double wide MFD home with 1536 sq. ft. lot in town. 5 bdrm, 5 bath, 4 car garage & of living space on nice sized corner lot. 3 separate guest quarters.

Th e nonprofi t teaches campers the signifi - cance of serving those in need and the value of hard work through fun activities involving sus- tainability, farming and environmental stew- ardship. For years, the camp planted wildfl ow- ers to attract pollinators to its 3 acres of gardens, and this summer it will dedicate an entire fi eld as forage for native bees and other pollinators.
