So... you want to create habitat?
Amazing!
Creating and maintaining pollinator habitat is the most direct way to support our pollinators. Even one flower can help make a difference in a pollinator's life.
Here are some resources to help you start your habitat creation project:
Ecoregional Planting Guides
Learn about the pollinators and plants native to your region.
Our ecoregional planting guides, Selecting Plants for Pollinators, are tailored to specific areas of Canada. Whether you are a farmer of many acres, land manager of a large tract of land, or a gardener with a small lot, you can increase the number of pollinators in your area by making conscience choices to include plants that provide essential habitat for pollinators.
Find Your Roots
Need help selecting plants for your garden?
Our Find Your Roots native plant finder tool can help! Enter your postal code, share a bit about your growing space, and the app will create a list of plants native to your region which can inspire your habitat creation and enhancement project.
