Plant Materials & Landscapes
Native plants form the bedrock of effective pollinator conservation because they provide the specific pollen and nectar resources that our native pollinators need for survival. Native plants are well-adapted to our local environment and often require less water and maintenance, making them a sustainable choice that supports both pollinator health and overall resilience for your garden. Before beginning a pollinator project at home, find out which plant species are right for our region. Here is a list of local resources for the Missoula area and western Montana.
Native Plants for Pollinators and Beneficial Insects – Xerces Society
Best Species for Pollinators – Center for Native Plants
Native Plants and Wildlife Habitat of the Missoula Area – National Wildlife Federation
