About Pollinator Friendly Practices (PFP)
The guidelines outlined in this document are to be used by organizations in support of land management practices in schools, private industry, public spaces, agriculture, forests and homes. The guidelines are meant to augment existing land use incentives and to be used by organizations, both those affiliated with NAPPC and others, in educating about and promoting pollinator friendly land use practices.
The guidelines contained in Pollinator Friendly Practices were compiled as a priority action identified by the Special Partnerships Committee of NAPPC in its Implementation Plan. The document was circulated to all NAPPC participants for their comment, and was endorsed by the NAPPC Steering Committee.
PFP Guidelines
The NAPPC Pollinator Friendly Practices Guidelines consider six different areas of land use:
- Management:
- Foraging Habitat
- Reproduction
- Shelter
- Invasive/Exotic Species
- Chemical Use
- Monitoring
For each topic, there is a central question to be addressed followed by a detailed approach to the subject.

Roadsides in the U.S. cover more than 10 million acres of land. Managing roadsides for bees and butterflies will create high quality habitat for wildlife of all types. Pollinator habitat along roadsides supports the pollication needs of adjacent farms and natural areas.
