Come explore the world of seagrass ecosystems! Learn why this habitat is so critical, touch and see the local grass species, and investigate the ways we collect data in this highly dynamic system.
Regreening Africa is restoring ecosystems in 8 countries and improving the resilience of 500,000 households across sub-Saharan Africa.
Regreening Africa’s goal in Ghana is to create a sustained approach to reversing land degradation and integrating food production through agroforestry.
Regreening Africa addresses pressing challenges in Ghana’s savannas: extreme and prolonged dry seasons, overgrazing, uncontrolled fire, declining tree cover, loss of indigenous biodiversity and increased soil infertility.

The vast world of tiny creatures is flourishing on their world of dill. Pretty swell. Aphids, ladybugs, butterflies, spiders and other critters all making merry and doing their thing.

Trees, plants, and flowers all require pollination to reproduce. Pollination is necessary for our major food crops. Outside of agricultural aspects, most plant species found in natural habitats require pollinators while others rely on the wind. The fruits and nuts these plants make are eaten by animals which are then hunted by predators. Plants also provide shelter and nesting habitats for many animal species. To maintain the diversity of our natural ecosystem we need healthy pollinator populations to make sure that the next generation of plants will be produced.
To help to protect and promote pollinators, communities can plant diverse, native plant species that bloom in different seasons that attract pollinators and use pesticides as a last resort. When using pesticides in the lawn use granular formulated insecticides and water the lawn immediately after use. Planting buckwheat and clover is a good way to attract bees and other pollinators, as well as providing bee nesting structures or an isolated part of landscaping for ground dwelling bees.
When landscaping, choosing to plant trees like maples, oaks and cottonwoods can help ensure that pollination continues and new seedlings have a chance to grow.
These efforts can help revive pollinating insect populations, including conservation and promoting a healthy ecosystem.
