About Missoula County Bee City USA
"Thinking globally and acting locally, Bee City USA provides a framework for communities to work together to conserve native pollinators by increasing the abundance of native plants, providing nest sites, and reducing the use of pesticides." -Xerces Society, Bee City USA Commitments, beecityusa.org
The Missoula County commissioners passed a resolution in June of 2023 to make Missoula County an official Bee City USA affiliate.
Standing Committee
The Missoula County Bee City standing committee supports projects and events to raise awareness around pollinator conservation in residential areas of Missoula County.
