Canadian Federation of Agriculture President Ron Bonnett says the farming community is already contributing to conservation efforts on working landscapes.
He says the Canadian Farmer-Rancher Pollinator Conservation Award is a chance to showcase those efforts and share ideas.
They're looking for farmers and ranchers who have made significant efforts in conserving natural ecosystems, fostering additional pollinator habitat and protecting pollinators on Canadian farms and ranches.
Nominations for the 2015 award are now open.
Deadline is July 24th.
The winner will be recognized during an evening reception at the U-S Department of Agriculture in Washington in October.
More information is available on the Canadian Federation of Agriculture's website.
