Enhance pollinator habitat on federal lands and federal facilities

Approach

Tactics

Direct Forest Service units to improve pollinator habitat by increasing native vegetation (via Integrated Pest Management) and by applying pollinator-friendly forest-wide best management practices and seed mixes.
Establish a reserve of native seed mixes including pollinator-friendly plants that are adapted, available, affordable, and are effective.
Develop revegetation guidelines that incorporate menu-based seed mixes by habitat type (e.g. species that are good for pollinators, sage grouse, umbrella species) and by empirical or provisional seed zones.

Sensitivity

• Pollinator habitat may be diminished by an array of climate change effects.

Strategy

Maintain viable habitats and populations
