In autumn, gardens, farms, and wild landscapes begin to wind down for the season, but invertebrates like bees, butterflies, moths, and beetles remain active, visiting late-blooming flowers and helping support the health and resilience of our ecosystems.

Unfortunately, our beloved invertebrates are increasingly at risk due to habitat loss, pesticide use, climate stress, and introduced diseases. Thankfully we can all pitch in to help protect these essential animals and their habitats.

It only takes a few minutes to set up your page and share it with friends and family. Every fundraiser, big or small, helps create a world where invertebrates can thrive, and where our planet is healthier for all.
