Planting for pollinators is so important to every aspect of life. Planting native plants for pollinators is even smarter. Look up what garden zone you are, then what native plants grow in that garden zone, buy and plant in your neck of the woods. Voila!

What a day for a worm survey! 🪱 It was lovely to be joined by some of the Lloyd & Whyte team for a day of corporate volunteering.

Community Giving Week is all about giving back to Camp and School—but we would be remiss not to extend that spirit of giving back to the place we call home! To celebrate our Adirondack community, we wanted to recognize one of our great nonprofit partners here in the region, AdkAction. Here are some pollinator facts they shared with us recently: 🦋 Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce. That’s one out of every three bites of food you eat! 🐝 Threats including habitat loss and fragmentation, pesticide use, climate change, and disease are causing a decline in global and local pollinator populations. 🐞 Pollinators that can’t find the right quantity or quality of food (nectar and pollen from blooming plants within flight range) don’t survive. Right now, there simply aren’t enough pollinator friendly plantings to support pollinators. Learn more about AdkAction’s work in this recent conversation between our Garden Manager Kim Smart and Hannah Grall, AdkAction Project Coordinator - visit https://lnkd.in/ej96TWVK to watch the full interview. And if you haven’t made your gift yet, donate today at https://lnkd.in/e5-rHD2S!

Are you a grassroots nonprofit leader or founder looking to make a larger impact? Take inspiration from the Mississippi Forestry Association. Their successful advocacy and awareness strategies are anchored in education - teaching landowners, legislators, and the public about forestry's essential role in Mississippi's economy. As leaders in nonprofits, we too carry a similar responsibility to articulate the significance of our missions to our communities. Collaboration is crucial too. By fostering partnerships, we amplify our ability to bring change! Remember, the best stories aren't just told, they are shared. And the best connections are born from a shared passion and understanding. Let's reach out, educate, collaborate and weave our stories into the fabric of our communities! #GiveHopeDaily #NonprofitCollaboration #EducateToElevate #NonprofitMarketingSolutions

Took a little longer than I wanted to add this all up (because a - maths, b - BUSY and c - managed to muck up my website and lose the impact tracker page... FAIL! Huge thanks to the team at Green Hosting for helping me get it back!) OK, anyway. The Ocean Writer's first year of business is complete (woop) which means it's time to track my first year's impact and see how it compares with previous years (as a sole trader). 💙 13 great clients: some I'd worked with before and some new (all lovely) 🎁 7 days of pro bono support, volunteering & citizen science (down on last year's stonking 12.5 days but still respectable I think!) 💰 1.57% of my income donated to good causes... creeping up from 1.2% the previous year (wahoo) 🌿 That includes enough donations to Project Seagrass to fund 2,251 seagrass seeds (also up from last year) 🌴 1,407 trees planted (up on the previous year's 1,163 but likely to fall next year) ✏️ 23 petitions signed (down on 22-23's 35 petitions boo... hopefully I can increase again this year) For the full spiel, check out the roundup blog 👇 & gimme tips/ideas to keep improving in 2024-25 please! https://lnkd.in/d37iiSQw
