Every day is a great day to support invertebrates and their habitat⁠—but this upcoming Earth Day on April 22 is a reason to do something extra special. That might look like revamping your garden with the help of our pollinator-friendly native plant lists, taking the Pollinator Protection Pledge, or diving deep to learn how you can help monarchs and other threatened species in your area. The opportunities are endless, and we love to see what you accomplish!
