What We Do
Blue Ridge Conservation educates and inspires people and their communities to become stewards of the natural world through direct action and collaboration. The focus has been to educate the community on the importance of planting native plants, not to use pesticides and supplying water and shelter for beneficial insects. These are the characteristics that make up our Pollinator Certification Program.
