About the Program
Bayer’s Clarion site is located approximately 90 miles north of Des Moines, Iowa. In 2016, team members at the Clarion site began grassland and pollinator conservation projects. The goal of this program is to increase native species biodiversity, manage invasive species and increase the numbers of monarch butterfly and other pollinator species in the one-acre grassland habitat.

Practices and Impacts
- The grassland habitat provides food and shelter native pollinator insects.
- Over the summer months, team members monitor the native grassland habitat and record numbers of observed pollinator insects.
- Insect hotels are located in the grassland habitat and provide shelter for cavity-nesting native pollinators.
