Supporting the bird and the bees with flowers in the Treasure Valley

A bumble bee sits on a flower.
Jessica Harrold

This is year four for the Treasure Valley Pollinator Project, the brainchild of the Ada Soil and Water Conservation District. Their goal is to increase pollinator habitat and the number of pollinators in the Treasure Valley by having people plant flowers and learn how to be better stewards of our environment.

This year’s focus is on birds and bumblebees and conservation, especially of water. Jessica Harrold, the District's Program Coordinator, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the project.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
