About the Program
The Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi, Inc. is an automobile assembly facility located outside of Blue Springs, Mississippi. Management uses various sites around the facility to restore native populations of plants and trees, improving biodiversity and supporting associated wildlife populations.

Practices and Impacts
  • A four-acre site was seeded with southern pollinator conservation mix to create a small grassland area intended to support pollinators and other wildlife. Invasive species are controlled with the use of herbicides, mowing, manual removal and the planned use of controlled burns.
  • An additional pollinator garden (less than one acre) was created to support local pollinators on-site. This area is managed as a garden.
  • A small area of turf grass (less than one acre) was planted with a variety of native trees to create a small patch of native hardwood forests. Trees are monitored for survival, and the area is being allowed to expand naturally.
