City, Address

Dear Sirs: We are undertaking an initiative to plant native wildflower seeds in the ____area______________ on _______date_____________to enhance the growth of native habitats to support our native bees and other native pollinator populations.

Nearly 400,000 species of plants and animals are dependent on or benefit from pollination. Animal pollinated plants are important in providing ecosystem services such as water filtration, carbon sequestration, and flood and erosion control. Pollinators play a pivotal role in the production of about one out of every three bites of food that human eat. Sadly pollinators are threatened worldwide by habitat loss, pesticides, disease, and parasites.

Planting wildflowers in this area will not only beautify the area while helping our native pollinators, but can save the county maintenance costs. I will be in touch with your office on ____________________ to determine what steps need to be taken in order to move this project forward.

Yours truly ,
