Together we've moved the needle
These numbers reflect joint outcomes across all partner programs, shared funding, and co-led field operations since our founding.
Four ways to partner with us
Partnerships are built around what you can offer and what we need on the ground. Every formal partnership includes a written agreement, defined deliverables, and mutual recognition.
Research Collaboration
Universities and research institutions can co-design field studies, access our colony health data, and co-publish findings. We provide site access, volunteer coordination, and sample collection support.
Sponsorship
Corporate and foundation sponsors receive formal recognition, quarterly impact reports, and the opportunity to sponsor specific hives, acres, or school programs by name.
Community Programming
Community organizations, schools, and municipal agencies can co-present events, host workshops on their sites, and integrate our curriculum into existing programs.
Land Access
Landowners, farms, and municipal properties can contribute acreage to our habitat restoration network. We design, plant, and maintain native pollinator corridors at no cost to the landowner.
Conservation is a team sport.
Whether you have land, funding, research capacity, or community reach, there is a role for your organization in this work.
