Pollinator restoration has many challenges, from selecting which species to plant to provide nectar during critical periods, to knowing how these plant species will respond to changes in climate including more variable weather conditions. Better knowledge about flowering and seed timing for critical nectar plants, and the links between this activity and climate, can inform more resilient restoration plantings.

We are a team of collaborators from the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program, the Tribal Alliance for Pollinators, the Gulf Coast Phenology Trail, and the USA National Phenology Network, supported by a grant from the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center. Our project, Time to Restore: Connecting People, Plants, and Pollinators, aims to deliver guidance to those working on pollinator restoration in the South Central region – New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana.
