People and Pollinators Action Network

Join our Metro Denver People and Pollinators Action Network Volunteer-Led Chapter!

OUR MISSION & VISION:
People and Pollinators Action Network (PPAN) works across Colorado to promote sustainable land management practices, safeguard public health and preserve biodiversity to make our state a safe haven for all who live here—from pollinators to people. We are the only organization working at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels to advocate for policies and practices that reduce and eliminate the use of pesticides and to create and connect swaths of pollinator-safe habitat with the intent of reversing the (drastic) decline of pollinator populations—upon which our very existence depends.

Join our Northern Colorado People and Pollinators Action Network Volunteer-Led Chapter!

WHO WE ARE
Northern Colorado People & Pollinators Action Network (NoCo PPAN) was formed in March 2021. To date, our focus and activities have included:

• Raising public awareness about the need to protect and create pollinator habitat in our urban environment
• Ascertaining the current management practices used in public spaces and school grounds in Loveland
• Exploring the availability of pollinator safe plants and products in NoCo nurseries
• Hosting Seed Swaps and Plant Swaps in Fort Collins
• Establishing a Native Seed Share and a Seed Library in Fort Collins
• Mentoring/supporting resident-initiated pollinator projects in Fort Collins
• Developing partnerships with community and city-based organizations

OUR MISSION
The mission of NoCo PPAN is to raise awareness of the vital role pollinators play in our ecosystem and to foster individual and community-wide practices that protect the well-being of people, pollinators, and our planet.
