Recognizing the Importance of Pollinators
 In the United States one third of all agricultural output depends on pollinators. Fruit and
vegetable growers in New Jersey can attest to the significant role
pollinators play in the production of many of our crops. Promoting pollinators' habitat on and near the farm benefits
everyone who likes to eat!
Odd areas and idle fields on farms can be used to
create habitat for pollinators, such as the wildflower meadow pictured here,
established near a hedgerow on a Hunterdon County farm.
 Through the
Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program and the
Environmental Quality Incentives Program,
in New Jersey offers landowners technical and financial assistance for restoring habitat for
pollinators in the “early successional habitat” provision. Contact your
local NRCS Office for more information
about these programs.
