<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black; background: rgb(255, 254, 252); font-size: 11pt;">Over the past two years, the pandemic has forced humanity to slow down, or sometimes stop altogether, leading many to become reconnected
to the natural world around them. This has helped bring many of the issues that are common knowledge within the horticultural and natural resource industry, such as invasive species, to become mainstream, gaining the attention of the masses and warranting
action. It is hoped that this reconnection with nature will continue into the future and for the momentum gained to continue for positive change. States all over the country, including our neighbor Pennsylvania, continue to create legislation banning the sale
and use of invasive species as well as providing a pathway for the further implementation and reestablishment of native plant communities. In fact, right now on Long Island, Suffolk County is in the preliminary stages of creating a Pollinator Pathway, envisioning
a vast network of plantings connecting public and private land specifically designed and maintained with pollinators in mind. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></o:p></p>
