You may see a few more butterflies and bees in Saginaw.
A conservation group is helping turn vacant lots around the city into areas for pollinator and small animals.
The Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy started the Pollinator Project last year.
Erin Dodson is the Director of Operations at the SBLC.
She said last year the group updated 27 lots. This year they plan to update 300.
“The wildflowers that we are planting are very beneficial to pollinators so it usually takes about a season for pollinators like bees to locate these lots, and then establish on them, and then they’ll obviously, hopefully, pollinate on them.”
Dodson said they will continue to plant throughout the fall.
“The idea is that it will promote more and more pollinators and it gives them habitat in the city, whereas they didn't have that before.”
