Pollinator Pioneers

Pollinator Pioneers is a beekeeping club of passionate students at Heritage High School who are working toward community awareness and engagement about the importance of pollinators by maintaining over 20 active beehives and, through this project, enriching the environment. Blue Ridge Conservation facilitated the donation from Guthrie Nursery of over a dozen native sapling trees and shrubs that would attract bees also and create food sources for many other pollinators. Don Floyd and maintenance staff of the Lynchburg City Schools planted the trees in December, 2019.
