Yellow Metal Bees® Native Tree Planting and Pollinator Habitat Project

This project expands native tree canopy and pollinator habitat through strategic planting, site stewardship, and community involvement. Native trees and pollinator-supporting vegetation are used to improve forage, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and long-term environmental resilience while strengthening conservation efforts throughout the Annapolis area.
