Working Lands Pollinator Habitat Enhancement: Kennedy Mine

The project titled Working Lands Pollinator Habitat Enhancement: Kennedy Mine involves the installation of approximately five acres of wildlife habitat designed to support native pollinator species, with a focus on the monarch butterfly and specific bumble bee populations. The habitat will be enhanced through the planting of flowering native vegetation that provides essential nectar and host resources, creating a sustainable environment for these species to thrive. The Amador Resource Conservation District will supply technical guidance, along with all necessary plant materials, irrigation systems, and fencing to support the landowner in implementing the project. Both the district and the landowner will collaborate on the installation and ongoing maintenance of the habitat to ensure long-term success and ecological resilience. The initiative is managed by the Amador Resource Conservation District in California, with Billy Synk serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The project was posted on June 3, 2026, and its scope aligns with broader goals of habitat restoration and pollinator conservation under the Working Lands program. While no formal solicitation number or set-aside designation is specified, the project is structured as a partnership model where shared responsibilities ensure community involvement and stewardship. The location is within California, and the project aims to strengthen local ecosystems through ecologically sound land management practices and direct habitat improvement.
