Ruralite features BPA's Pollinator Workgroup in an article highlighting how the team’s efforts is driving BPA’s commitment to pollinators. 

Bees, butterflies and other pollinators have found new and improved homes throughout the Bonneville Power Administration's service territory thanks to its Pollinator Workgroup working in tandem with utility customers and other government entities. 

One such example is the multiyear Forest Park project, which earned BPA national recognition in 2023. Since its creation in 2018, BPA's Pollinator Workgroup has extended pollinator-related work and best practices to BPA facilities with projects such as mason bee house installations, butterfly mapping programs and xeriscaping at agency facilities. 

Read more about the work BPA and the Pollinator Workgroup are doing to connect the dots between transmission lines, pollinators and the environment in the Ruralite article "Protecting Pollinators Sends a Message."
