Planting Better Habitat for a Better Future Pollinators Need Habitat. You Can Help. As critical habitat disappears, pollinators face alarming declines.

Our Seed A Legacy program empowers landowners and land managers to transform 2+ acres of land into thriving, high-quality habitat with long-term ecological impact. When you partner with us, you join a program that has already successfully helped establish 7,000+ acres of habitat, delivering measurable results for pollinators , people , and the planet .

A Proven Model That Delivers Results Our NextGen seed mixes are designed with 40+ species for diverse, season-long floral resources , guided by our Pollinator Habitat Scoring System. Our habitat attracts 8x more native bees, 6x more honey bees, and has 2x more flowers per acre than other habitat programs via independent research.

We offer our high-quality seed mixes free for projects 2-25 acres, making impactful conservation affordable for all eligible landowners. You’ll receive personalized support from our team of expert biologists to ensure successful establishment and long-term habitat health. Our NextGen™ Habitat attracts 8x more native bees, 6x more honey bees, and grows 2x more flowers per acre than typical conservation plantings.

Landowners and land managers with 2 or more acres located in our 14-state program region. More states will be added soon. How much seed will I receive?

Projects from 2–25 acres receive seed at no cost. Larger projects receive seed at a reduced rate, depending on acreage. How do your seed mixes support so many pollinators?

Every Seed A Legacy project includes two custom-designed seed mixes planted separately - one for butterflies and one for bees. This strategic approach creates diverse habitat that blooms longer, establishes faster, and attracts a wider range of pollinators than single-mix efforts. What’s included with the program?

You’ll receive science-based NextGen™ Seed Mixes, a site-specific seed plan, and expert guidance from our team - for free. Do I need to manage the habitat after planting? How long will it last?

Yes. Participants commit to managing the habitat for at least 5 years. We provide detailed resources and support to make this easy.

With proper management, your habitat can thrive for many years and continue supporting pollinators long after the first bloom. Why are your seed mixes better than others? Our mixes include 40+ wildflower species compared to ~10 in most programs and are designed using a proprietary scoring system that evaluates over 15 factors for pollinator value.

Can I apply if I’ve already planted pollinator habitat? No. The program is designed for new projects on fully prepared sites. We do not provide seed for interseeding existing habitat.
