Project Wingspan & Community Engagement in Habitat Enhancement

In celebration of National Pollinator Week, Andy Grinstead, Project Manager for Project Wingspan, discussed Pollinator Partnership's Project Wingspan, a multi-year landscape-scale pollinator habitat enhancement and volunteer engagement program. Pollinator Partnership works in collaboration with a coalition of partners to collect ecotypic seed which will be cleaned and stratified, and a portion will be grown out into plugs, before being redistributed to regionally appropriate zones. Select vetted project sites will be awarded seeds or plugs, and landowners and managers may receive training and technical resources to support their projects. Andy's bio and additional info: Andy Grinstead is the Project Wingspan Program Manager at Pollinator Partnership. He is originally from Indiana, and is excited to return to the place that first sparked his excitement for conservation. Andy earned a bachelor’s in outdoor recreation and resource management from Indiana University and master’s in ecological restoration from Colorado State University. After completing two terms with AmeriCorps NCCC, he worked with a variety of nonprofit organizations, consulting firms, land trusts and local, state, and federal agencies to accomplish all facets of natural resources management. He has worked in the Northwoods of Minnesota, Great Plains of the Dakotas, mountains and foothills of Colorado, expansive deserts of New Mexico, and cascading gorges of Upstate New York. A common theme throughout his career has been community engagement and volunteerism in support of natural resource management initiatives. Andy joined Pollinator Partnership in March 2023, and is excited to share his enthusiasm for plants, pollinators, and human connection with the community.
