Pollinator Plot
About the Project
The Pollinator Plot was created with the purpose of promoting and encouraging farmers, producers, and community members to be pollinator friendly in their conservation efforts.
The Funding
The project was funded by a grant from the USDA-NRCS National Water Quality Initiative (MWQI) with the intent to promote and encourage the planting of similar pollinator friendly Conservation Cover crops not only within the NWQI section of Wilkes County (which include the East and Middle Prong of the Roaring River) but in all of Wilkes County and surrounding areas.
The Pollinator Plot is a joint effort put together by the Wilkes Soil and Water Conservation District, in conjunction with the Wilkes Ag Extension Office, US Department of Agriculture - Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) - National Water Quality Initiative, and the North Carolina Resource Commision.
