How Your Gift Makes a Difference

Restoring native wildflowers and trees. Bees only eat 2 things: pollen and nectar. Because 90% of wild prairies and grasslands have been destroyed since colonization, restoring native flowering plants and trees is essential for native bees. This also helps our communities by creating more oxygen, cooling the air, reducing erosion, enriching the soil, generating rain, and emitting healing compounds into the air.

Funding community conservation. Backyard habitat programs educate and empower community members to create beneficial wildlife landscapes and reduce light pollution.

Preserving prairies. We support the 63-acre prairie preserve with vital funds for native plants, wildflower seeds, shrubs, trees, and native bee nesting places.

FREE events & educational programming. We present science-based educational programs at local organizations like parks, schools, wilderness centers, conservancies, nature centers, Kiwanis, Rotary, and more.

FREE educational resources. We curate a free library of regional guides for bees, native plants, seed providers, tree selectors, DIY projects, apps, habitat partner programs, and more on our website. Visit our Free Guides & Videos pages.

Meet our Beneficiaries

As the largest pollinator nonprofit, the Pollinator Partnership mission is to promote the health of pollinators critical to food and ecosystems through conservation, education, and research.

Save Ohio Bees supports the development or enhancement of pollinator habitat on agricultural lands in Ohio, along with education and training for farmers in pollinator habitat stewardship. These pollinator habitats support native bee and pollinator populations, the sustainability of Ohio farms, and the health and resilience of regional ecosystems. 

The Wilderness Center serves more than 14,000 individuals and 110 local schools annually. TWC protects 3,380 acres in 7 Ohio counties.

Save Ohio Bees supports free educational programming as well as community conservation programs like the Backyard Habitat and Dark Skies programs.

Save Ohio Bees supports the 63-acre Oberlin Preserve, part of the Western Reserve Land Conservancy. With few prairie areas in the northwest region, the preserve provides a haven for pollinators.

Save Ohio Bees supports wildflower seed planting, tree planting, invasive species removal, and native bee nesting places at the preserve.
