SUNY ESF
Pollinator Ecology Program

North America’s native pollinators are essential to ecosystems and agriculture, and many are facing serious population declines due in large part to habitat loss. However, for a significant number of species, we still lack crucial information about their ranges, diet, and habitat needs, as well as how they respond to management, making it difficult to direct conservation actions to protect them. There is also a growing public demand for regionally specific information about northeast native pollinators and the plants that support them.

The Restoration Science Center is a leader and partner in numerous research, restoration, and outreach efforts to better understand and conserve North America’s native pollinators.
