Manitou pollinators Manitou-the spirit within all things
Our Mission
As community bridge builders our mission is to provide education, resources, and a hands on approach supporting pollinators within the circle of life. Sustenance provided by mother earth and the water of life maintains our very special relationship with the natural environment surrounding us.
Who we are
The Manitou Pollinators is a global community organization rooted in the belief that harmony between people and nature sustains all life. Formed by individuals of both Native and non‑Native heritage, we honor the strength that grows from unity and equity by blending cultures, perspectives, and traditions into a shared purpose of caring for the Earth and all its beings. We see ourselves as pollinators of goodwill and understanding—bridging communities, inspiring compassion, and nurturing the interconnected systems of pollinators, plants, and water. We act with gratitude and responsibility toward every stream, spring, and species—reminding humanity that caring for one another and the full expressions of life surrounding us are inseparable acts of love and survival.
What you can do to help pollinators
- Create a Pollinator inviting garden, small or large, with diverse blooms and times.
- Leave a portion of your yard “wild” to provide natural habitat.
- Do not use pesticides or herbicides.
- Pollinators are attracted to open sunny areas, with more choices to pollinate flowers or lay eggs along borders or north end of your yard.
