Meet our Beneficiaries

The Pollinator Partnership mission is to promote the health of pollinators critical to food and ecosystems through conservation, education and research. Signature initiatives include Midwest Project Wingspan for Agricultural Lands, Pollinator Week, and the Bee Buffer Project.

Every $100 net we raise through this partnership restores 1,600 sq. ft. of pollinator habitat.

Everyone’s life depends on pollinator health, and everyone can play a role in protecting them.
— Kelly Rourke, Pollinator Partnership Executive Director

The Wilderness Center mission connects the community to conservation through education. It protects 3,380 acres in seven Ohio counties including 500 acres of wetland, and 13 miles of freshwater streams. It serves more than 14,000 individuals and 110 local schools annually, and is home to Foxfield Preserve conservation burial ground.

Through this partnership, we help fund two essential Community Conservation Programs, including the Backyard Habitat Initiative and the Dark Sky Initiative.


We support the Oberlin Preserve, a 63-acre prairie in Northwest Ohio that is part of the Western Reserve Land Conservancy. With few prairie areas in the region, the preserve provides a haven for pollinators.

Since its initial restoration planting, nearly 600 native wildflower plants, more than 50 native trees, and 30 acres of prairie seed have been successfully planted. The preserve also includes diverse fields, woodlands, wet sedge meadows, and forested vernal pools providing habitats for insects, birds, amphibians, mammals, and other wildlife.
