Colorado Group Nurtures Pollinator Habitats Ahead of Giving Season

In the lead-up to Colorado Gives Day on November 11, 2025, the People and Pollinators Action Network is focused on expanding its work to protect critical pollinator habitats across the state. The group's executive, Joyce Kennedy, explains that they are tackling issues like habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use to help communities conserve these vital ecosystems.

One of the group's success stories is the establishment of DeLong Park in Golden, Colorado's first organic park, which is free from the pesticides that can weaken and kill pollinators. Kennedy says Golden has taken important steps to promote these habitats, and the Protect our Pollinators Colorado license plates are also supporting a fund to create more publicly accessible pollinator gardens and promote education.

As the People and Pollinators Action Network continues its efforts, Kennedy emphasizes the importance of restoring lands with native plants that provide the best food sources for pollinators. With the group's small size but big ambitions, Colorado Gives Day is a crucial opportunity to garner support for their work to sustain the little creatures whose lives help sustain us all.
