Native bees, butterflies, and other insects are essential to healthy ecosystems, yet many are facing significant declines worldwide. Learn about some of our native pollinators, why these declines are happening, why residential landscapes matter, and how choosing native plants and rethinking the way we manage our yards can help restore habitat and create more resilient ecosystems. Marirose Kuhlman is the Habitat Coordinator for the Missoula County Department of Ecology & Extension, where she works on native plant and pollinator conservation initiatives, community education, and habitat restoration projects. She holds a B.A. in Biology/Botanical Sciences and an M.S. In Entomology and has spent her career surveying and studying native plants and native bees and teaching others about them. Marirose coordinates Missoula County's Bee City USA program and leads the ReWild Your Yard initiative, helping residents create more resilient landscapes for pollinators, wildlife, and people.
