Assess the diversity and abundance of pollinators in the wetlands surrounding hampton plantation pre and post native pollinator plant establishment

This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Soil and Water Conservation Federal Grant Program (CFDA 10.902), will provide $152,167.00 to Clemson University to assess the diversity and abundance of pollinators in the wetlands surrounding Hampton Plantation in South Carolina, both before and after the establishment of native pollinator plants. The project aims to address declining at-risk and endangered pollinator populations in the state's tidal wetland region by promoting the cultivation of native plants in targeted wetland areas affected by habitat loss due to climate change and invasive species. The project will run from August 1, 2024, to August 31, 2027.
