Spring has sprung, and the Lake County Conservation District (LCCD) is buzzing with excitement as it launches its annual Pollinator Seed Giveaway, encouraging local residents to join a growing movement to protect pollinators and restore native habitat.
As part of its Pollinator Initiative, LCCD is offering free native seed mixes to residents interested in planting their own pollinator-friendly plots. This year’s mix has been specially curated with exclusively native species, selected to bloom throughout the growing season to provide critical food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Pollinators play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting healthy food systems. Whether you have a backyard, a few containers on a patio, or open acreage, there’s a way to participate. Creating small plots with native plants is something every landowner can do to help.
