New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a significant boost to pollinator conservation efforts through $3.73 million in grants, awarded to 35 community organizations. This funding comes from a settlement with Bayer CropScience and Monsanto, who were accused of misleading advertising regarding their Roundup products' safety. The New York Pollinator Conservation Fund aims to create and protect habitats, raise awareness, and enhance community projects focused on pollinators, addressing the critical need for conservation in the state, especially for species like bees and butterflies.
The grants are part of the New York Pollinator Conservation Fund, a multi-million-dollar initiative launched by the Office of the Attorney General using proceeds from a 2023 settlement with Bayer CropScience and Monsanto.
James and the New York Community Trust on Monday, June 16, announced $3.73 million in grant funding to 35 community environmental organizations statewide to support pollinator conservation efforts in New York.
