VOLUNTEER-LED CHAPTERS
As our organization expands and reached farther across the state, we saw a need for a more local experience in some of our most active regions and communities. To bridge the gap between increased interest in supporting pollinator conservation efforts and our capacity to support all of this interest directly, we created regional PPAN chapters that provide a more hands-on experience for those who want to mobilize within their specific area while benefitting from the knowledge, centralized coordination, and resources of the greater People & Pollinators network.

OUR MISSION & VISION:
People and Pollinators Action Network (PPAN) works across Colorado to promote sustainable land management practices, safeguard public health and preserve biodiversity to make our state a safe haven for all who live here—from pollinators to people. We are the only organization working at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels to advocate for policies and practices that reduce and eliminate the use of pesticides and to create and connect swaths of pollinator-safe habitat with the intent of reversing the (drastic) decline of pollinator populations—upon which our very existence depends.

PEOPLE & POLLINATORS

WHO WE ARE
Boulder County People and Pollinators started as the Longmont Coalition for People and Pollinators (LCPP) which was a joint initiative of Sustainable Resilient Longmont and the People and Pollinators Action Network, formed in 2015. Our work around Boulder County to organize neighborhoods, raise public awareness, and work with local governments and coalition partners caused us to broaden our name.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the BCPP is to raise awareness of the vital role pollinators play in our ecosystem and to foster individual and community-wide practices that protect the wellbeing of people and pollinators.
JOIN US
We meet regularly, usually in Longmont to share ideas and collaboration strategies and engage people at educational activities around the county. We are always looking for enthusiastic, hardworking people to work with.
