Eagle River Nature Center (non-profit) Pollinator Garden Project, located in the Chugach Mountains in Eagle River, Alaska. September 2, 2023, 100 Rotarians from Zones 28 & 32 attending the Life on Land symposium did a hands-on project building the pollinator gardens. We moved weeds, rocks and created the layout for 3 garden areas, built and assembled trellis and gates, planted native plants friendly to the pollinator animals.

3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met?

This was an environmental and people pleasing project.
