Despite the up and down weather spring is coming and that means it’s time to start thinking about plants and pollinators!

The Ada Soil and Water Conservation District is on a mission to help pollinators and help us save and create more green spaces in the Treasure Valley. This year they’re focusing a lot of their attention on shrubs and bees!

Jessica Harrold the director of the Ada Soil & Water Conservation District joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
