As our world continues to urbanize with the use of hard building materials we jeopardize the ecosystems which put our natural resources and food systems at risk. The very real consequences of modern urbanization have a great impact on our local ecology, specifically our diminishing pollinator populations. Learn how to design exterior living walls so they can provide support for pollinators. 

Want to help pollinators? This article provides you with the reasons for supporting pollinators as well as detailed information of families of plants that can support a wide range of pollinators across North America on green roofs.

Green roofs can recover space for pollinators in dense urban environments, where native ecosystems once persisted. This article is the first of several that will focus on the unique role of living roofs made for the preservation of native pollinators - looking at Sedums in particular.
