Let’s Plant with Dutchman’s Gold

Sierra Club Canada is planting 10 million seeds across Canada with Dutchman’s Gold

Did you know that 1/3 of the world’s food supply relies on pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds? Sadly, their populations are declining due to habitat loss. At Dutchman’s Gold, they’re committed to creating a world that buzzes with life and that’s why we’re partnering with them on their Let’s Plant campaign.

With every purchase of a Dutchman’s Gold product, they’ll be contributing to the Let’s Plant initiative to plant seeds across Canada! Working together our goal is to plant 10 million seeds across Canada in 2025. But we can’t do it alone! We need you and your friends and family to join us in this vital initiative.

Join us in supporting our bees by emailing us at info@sierraclub.ca with the subject line ‘Let’s Plant.’

You can also find out more about the campaign at the Dutchman’s Gold website.

There is an amazing diversity of bees in North America – an estimated 3600 species! – some of which can find a home in our very own backyards, community gardens, and local green spaces!

Bees are needed to pollinate most of our food crops as well as many native plants and flowers. Unfortunately, almost one third of bee species are threatened, and two out of five pollinating insect species (critters like butterflies and bees) are at risk of extinction. The loss of these amazing species is preventable – if we act together to create places where bees can thrive.

Working with Dutchman’s Gold’s Let’s Plant! initiative, we want to inspire people to nurture native flowering plants in their backyards and communities to create safe havens for bees.

Sierra Club Canada has extensive experience in the areas of protecting and restoring biodiversity, and we can support Dutchman’s Gold Honey’s commitment to ensuring meaningful actions to create bee habitat by providing expertise in native plant selection and cultivation techniques, engagement, education, and outreach. For our part, the Let’s Plant! partnership offers Sierra Club Canada an opportunity to provide opportunities for our members and supporters to take action on the issue of restoring bee habitat, enhancing  native plant diversity, and supporting sustainable local food.
