Plots for Pollinators is a Barry County Operation Pollination project designed to encourage individuals and organizations to increase their support of pollinators by enhancing, expanding, or adding new native plantings to their yards. For a $10 fee, a Plots for Pollinators sign is provided to each registered garden to encourage others to install their own Plots for Pollinators. Signs must be picked up at the Hastings Public Library located at 227 E. State Street in Hastings. Operation Pollination is a worldwide effort led by Rotary International to increase pollinators' declining populations. Efforts are focused on expanding and improving native habitats on public and private lands and educating community members about the critical role pollinators play in the environment. This initiative was adopted in Barry County in 2022, led by the Hasting Rotary Club but truly a community effort involving a diverse group of individuals and organizations.
