Abstract
Excerpt: This technical note outlines opportunities within current Farm Bill programs to implement pollinator conservation actions on the ground, especially what the NRCS field conservationists can do at the local or field level (Field-level opportunities). The field-level advice primarily explores how current conservation practices (e.g., Practice 340—Cover Crop) can be used to benefit pollinators. Secondly, this technical note identifies opportunities for NRCS State, area, basin, and watershed offices to support conservation of crop-pollinating native bees and provide and enhance pollinator habitat during land or wildlife habitat improvement activities (State-level opportunities). At the State level, support for pollinators and their habitats includes developing biology technology notes with State-appropriate plant lists, conservation program enhancement job sheets, and other guidance documents for field office conservationists.
