" . . . my involvement with Bee Safe Neighborhoods has been nothing short of transformative.
We are elated that we were successful in turning Normal Park, Ypsilanti into the first Bee Safe Neighborhood in Michigan and we have already been invited to canvass an adjacent neighborhood. So onto the next journey. I wonder what it will bring?"
Melissa Sklar, Bee Safe Normal Park, Ypsilanti, Michigan
"We were so fortunate that everyone from the Normal Park neighborhood were open to knowing and learning more and having honest discussion about the issues surrounding the use of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. No door was shut in our face, thus our morale never waivered and our committment only strengthened. This journey has also shown me how much the power of grassroots activism can impact a neighborhood, community, and beyond."
