A Perfect Time to GroMoreGood Through Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz

September marks a time of change. From the end of summer to back to school, there are so many things that are wrapping up or starting fresh.

The month also includes one of our favorite events for pollinators through the Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz, held by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) in partnership with The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation.

During the BioBlitz, participants are encouraged to capture photographs of the plants, insects and animals present in parks and submit them using the iNaturalist platform, an app which identifies and records the observations. This helps park agencies better understand, manage and plan for the multitude of different species and habitats in their local parks.

Earlier this summer, ScottsMiracle-Gro reinforced its commitment to pollinators by opening an apiary on its Marysville campus, which complements our commitment to the sixth edition of the Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz. 

“We encourage community members and park goers throughout the country to participate in the annual Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz to collectively impact pollinators in a positive way,” said Brian Herrington, president of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation. 

As we embrace the season change throughout September, learn more about Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz and ways you can help.
