Hey pal, it looks like you’re about to *checks notes* wipe out all the pollinators who've been hard at work in your yard all summer!? Let’s try another way. Read on for bug-friendly tips on tidying up (or not) & meet some of the friends you’ll be saving⤵️ xerces.org/blog/put-down-tho…

Today our @NYTGuildTech will be back on the picket line outside @nytimes. Because the @nytimes has chosen to prioritize its own greed and control over its workers, today also marks the first @newsguild strike to coincide with a presidential election in 60 years.

It’s time for one of the easiest things you can do for pollinators: just #LeaveTheLeaves! Why? The bees are sleeping under there!🍂🐝💤 (it's ok, you can tidy a bit if you really want to!) Read on for easy autumn cleaning that leaves space for nature⤵️ xerces.org/blog/leave-the-le…

Leave the Leaves!

One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.
