Pollinator Friendly Cities
In July 2014, Shorewood MN became the first city in our state to pass a Pollinator Friendly Resolution. Since then, 26 municipalities around Minnesota that have pledged to protect pollinators on the lands they own and manage- including Austin, Shorewood, Stillwater, Saint Louis Park, South Saint Paul, Andover (with a proclamation), Mendota Heights, Maplewood, Lake Elmo, and, our three largest communities: Duluth, Minneapolis and Saint Paul! Ramsey and Washington County and two school districts have also passed resolutions.
