People for Pollinators is a collaboration of Lincoln, MA-based organizations and individuals dedicated to the promotion, protection, and creation of habitat that supports the vitality of pollinators. The group includes the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust, Birches School, Lincoln Garden Club, Lincoln Conservation Commission, Lincoln Agricultural Commission, Stonegate Gardens and individuals in the Lincoln community.

An Experiment
A Lincoln beekeeper and soil consultant is working with students at Birches School to experiment with soil health, plant growth, and pollinator activity. For the experiment, two circular plots have been designed at the meadow: one plot has been mineralized and one plot has been left untreated. No pesticides of any kind are being used in either plot, nor have the pants and seeds been treated with any chemicals. Both plots have plants and seeds that are of the same type and have been planted in the same location. Sun exposure, water drainage and other factors are variables. Over time, the consultant and students at Birches School will record their observations on plant growth and pollinator activity.

Participate!
All who visit the meadow are encouraged to record their observations. Become a citizen scientist, and share your findings with the project and with scientific repositories affiliated with iNaturalist to help scientists find and use our data. All you have to do is observe and record!
