NextGen™ Habitat. Real Results.
We partner with landowners to plant high-quality habitat that benefits pollinators AND the environment.
Without pollinators, everything unravels.
Pollinators power 1 in 3 bites of food and support more than 90 crops.
But their populations are collapsing driven largely by habitat loss.
Without high-quality habitat, native bees, monarch butterflies, and honey bees continue to decline - and the land suffers too.
Soil erodes. Water becomes polluted. And our food system is put at risk.
-
40% of U.S. honey bee colonies die off each year.
-
Monarch butterfly populations have declined by over 80%.
-
One third of native bee species are in decline or at risk of extinction.
Our NextGen™ Habitat helps reverse these trends.
The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund is a nonprofit organization that establishes high-quality habitat that not only supports pollinators but delivers measurable environmental impact.
Through our signature programs, Seed A Legacy and Solar Synergy, we provide our land partners with custom-designed NextGen™ Seed Mixes, expert guidance, and long-term support to ensure lasting success.

Not All Habitat Is Created Equal.
Our habitat attracts 8x more native bees, 6x more honey bees, and has 2x more flowers per acre than typical conservation plantings and with 40+ wildflower species per mix, compared to about ten in other conservation programs, we offer a smarter, stronger solution.
Our science-based, NextGen™ Habitat utilizes a proprietary scoring system that evaluates more than 15 factors to ensure every seed mix delivers maximum benefit for pollinators and the environment.
Smarter Habitat = Bigger Impact.
Pollinators thrive and food systems become more secure
Soils rebuild and water quality improves
Carbon is stored in deep-rooted native plants
Honey production increases, benefiting U.S. beekeepers
Grassland birds return to nest and feed
Biodiversity rebounds across the entire system
Experts Since 2017:
7+ years of measurable results
18-State Reach (and Growing)
1M+ flowers per acre planted
7,000+ acres restored
Millions of pollinators supported
Thousands of partners engaged
“Pollinators are the glue that connects every major environmental issue we face - from food security to water quality. That’s why our habitat approach is built to perform and built to last.”
— Peter Berthelsen, Executive Director
Together, We’re Rebuilding Resilience.
Your role, whether planting or funding, creates habitat that heals the land, supports biodiversity, and strengthens ecosystems that sustain us all.
