Protecting our pollinators is a matter of environmental responsibility and agricultural resilience, and I\u2019m committed to ensuring we do our part to save the species so central to the history and character of our home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to support this bill for reasons that go beyond my roots in the Beehive State,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Moore.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s a strong example of putting public rights-of-way to good use.

Panetta, to extend this program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMonarch butterflies and other pollinators are declining across the country \u2014 including here on the Central Coast, where the City of Goleta recently counted only two monarchs in its annual survey,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Carbajal.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cThe bipartisan&nbsp;<em>Roadside Pollinator Program Amendments Act<\/em>&nbsp;is an important step forward in our work to protect and restore pollinator habitats.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;bipartisan&nbsp;<em>Roadside Pollinator Program Amendments Act<\/em>&nbsp;is endorsed by Environment America, Natural Resources Defense Council, Xerces Society, Center for Biological Diversity, and Garden Club of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBees, monarch butterflies and other pollinators fill our skies with color, our stomachs with food and our hearts with awe \u2013 but these winged miracles are disappearing rapidly.
