Pollinator Houses

Pollinator houses are small but powerful tools for supporting local ecosystems. At EcoBiodiversity, we build these shelters using environmentally-friendly materials, creating safe nesting and hibernation spaces for essential insects like native bees, ladybugs, and butterflies. These houses are placed in permitted areas around Newton, where they help increase insect diversity and strengthen local pollinator populations. Each shelter is a step toward restoring balance and biodiversity in our own backyards.

EcoBiodiversity Clubs

The EcoBiodiversity Clubs are a student-led extension of our nonprofit’s mission, created to give young people the tools, resources, and support to actively protect and restore local biodiversity. Our first club was founded in 2021 at Newton South High School. It empowers students to take action through hands-on projects like native planting, building pollinator houses, and hosting educational events. As part of the larger EcoBiodiversity organization, the club helps bridge youth leadership and environmental impact, offering a space where students can turn their passion for nature into real-world change.
