Matthew Bailey, MSU’s Landscape Services manager, and Lars Brudvig, associate professor of plant biology in the College of Natural Science, have applied for a grant from Project Wingspan as part of a larger effort to make campus pollinator friendly.
Project Wingspan is a three-year project through the Pollinator Partnership (pollinator.org) designed to increase the quality, quantity and connectivity of pollinator habitat across the Midwest and Great Lakes region.
As a recipient, MSU received sixteen different species of Michigan native seed including black-eyed Susans, buttonbush, foxglove, purple coneflower, milkweed and blazing star wildflower to help reclaim the site as native wildlife habitat.
