Minnesota Environmental Quality Board wants state residents to take pollinator survey

The Minnesota Environmental Quality Board emailed this request on Wednesday:

The Interagency Pollinator Protection Team (IPPT) would like public feedback on the 2020 Minnesota State Agency Pollinator Annual Report and how useful it is to Minnesotans. Additionally, the IPPT is interested in learning what actions people and organizations are taking to help pollinators and what barriers they are encountering. Your answers will bring new perspectives to the IPPT and will help us identify opportunities for action to advance pollinator protection in Minnesota.

You can access and share the pollinator survey using the following link: Pollinators survey 21 (mn.gov)

Please answer the survey by February 26th. If you have any questions, please contact the State Pollinator Coordinator, Rebeca Gutierrez-Moreno by email at rebeca.gutierrez-moreno@state.mn.us, or by phone: 651-757-2268.

We appreciate your participation!

We tested the survey while creating this post. The survey is intended for Minnesota residents.

The North Mankato city council resently passed an native garden ordinance that greatly restricts the ability of residents to plant polinator gardens. Is there any state help we could get to help overturn this ordinance?

I have had a polinator garden since 2017 that will have to ba removed because of this ordinance
