This innovative program is strategically designing and including pollinator health and habitat components into utility scale solar energy projects, as well as monitor the pollinator benefits and carbon sequestration gains. Those efforts have been delivered in 17 states to date and the BBHF is developing a new, expanded program to promote, document and deliver an increased set of environmental benefits associated with renewable energy projects.
