About us
Arkearth is a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation focused on saving bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, and other pollinators via our unique pollination accelerator projects. Our projects deploy into community gardens, urban farms, schools, universities, corporate campuses, and other locations. Each project is site surveyed for its unique needs, local plant, animal, and insect life, and how we can best help save pollinating species while increasing food output and providing valuable educational content and experiences for students and volunteers. Our mission is to create a sustainable set of easy-to-manage and track environmental features, including beehives, bat houses, butterfly enclosures, hummingbird feeders, wildflower borders, and highly valuable IoT reporting architecture. Our goal is to increase local pollinators' success, food yields, and plant growth. Studies have shown projects like ours can increase food output by 15% to 30%. In at-risk neighborhoods, we also help to engage more of the residents in community projects, increase property values, and reduce reported crimes. Arkearth is a massive initiative, and our mission is not small in its scope. However, thanks to supporting research, it is doable and scalable, beginning at a local level and with the support of donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers. Together, we can not only help save the pollinators, but we can help eliminate food deserts and give both nutritional foods and hope to people in local communities. Currently, we have dozens of projects underway with more planned. Our first pollination accelerator projects include the following: 1. Restorative Farms: Hatcher Station / Fair Park 2. Trinity River Audubon Center 3. North Dallas Community Garden Project 2023 4. Fairmont Hotel Dallas Rooftop Garden 5. Fair Park Dallas / Winter 2023

“Few plants self-pollinate: the vast majority depend on animals, wind or water for reproduction.🌬🐝 Besides bees and other insects, a wide range of different animals can also be pollinators. 🦎” Learn more about what pollinators are, why they are important and why they are declining https://lnkd.in/esdtuEC4 via European Parliament

We're celebrating #WorldBeeDay all week! In 2017, the UN declared May 20th this special day to recognize the importance bees have in our biodiverse environment. Donate any amount to Arkearth this week and receive a FREE packet of wildflowers native to your region! Everyone can make a difference and your donation goes a long way in helping us provide more educational opportunities for students and volunteers, along with working to establish pollination gardens and wildflower plantings. #savethebees #savethepollinators #savetheplanet #biodiversity https://lnkd.in/gGpnAw7a

Bees, butterflies, moths, and thousands of other insects are critical to keeping life on Earth going. Without them, we are all in trouble. #biodiversity #arkearth #pollination #sustainability
"The most diverse group of organisms on the planet are in trouble, with recent research suggesting insect populations are declining at an unprecedented rate." Learn more about why insects are essential for the maintenance of our environment by reading this graphics article from Reuters below 👇
