Question About Personal Pollinator Garden.

Question

I live in Clark County, WI and planted parts of my 20 acres unused field for a pollinator and butterfly flower plot , other half is hay when needed. I have a few neighbors who think i am crazy, not legal and think i have no right to do this!I have a sign or three up to show they are certified/registered paying dues yearly through a couple of well known associations 3 which are Pollinator.net “Farm garden registry” and other Monarch Way Station and Monarch Joint Venture! I wanted to make sure this is legal and it’s in my land boundaries and i monitor the area and keep paths trimmed, monitor for bad weeds and sign for trespassing and warming sign about bees which i do not keep, it’s to support honey producers in the surrounding area! I do No selling, trading and unwanted legal activity is forbidden also! I also want to help pollinators and hope to support the pollinator protection laws!

Answer 1

You may need to check with the local conservation service and make sure nothing you are planting is considered a noxious weed in your area.
