Select which of the following new badges you have earned:
If this is a second submission, only apply for the new badge(s), not the one(s) you have already applied for/earned.
REGISTERED GARDEN - You have already registered your Bee Friendly Garden with us [registration form: https://form.jotform.com/233094933766163]. Criteria of a BFG include planting nectar and pollen-providing plants that bloom across seasons, providing pollinator nesting habitat, and reducing or eliminating your use of pesticides.
yes
BFG INATURALIST - Once you have registered your Bee Friendly Garden, you will receive an invitation to join iNaturalist and post your first pollinator observation in your BFG! Have you done this already?
yes
What is your iNaturalist unique identifier/handle?
*
BFG PSC - You have completed Pollinator Partnership's Pollinator Stewardship Certification. https://www.pollinator.org/psc
yes
BFG iNaturalist Star - You have uploaded 100 observations to the BFG iNaturalist Project.
yes
BFG Ambassador - One of the best actions you can take to help pollinators is to spread awareness. We reserve this title for Members of BFG who undertake education or outreach efforts to promote pollinator conservation and Bee Friendly Gardening. Examples include building a Bee Friendly Garden in a community space, hosting a BFG table or event at a local festival (we can help supply materials), organizing a planting day at a local school to involve children in creating a BFG, doing a talk for a class or community group informing them about pollinators and BFG, or creating a social media campaign surrounding BFG with a goal of reaching 1,000 people. Resulting gardens should be registered as a Bee Friendly Garden before applying for the Ambassador badge; for a limited time we are offering a free Bee Friendly Garden sign to anyone who registers a public BFG and applies for the Ambassador badge. We do request that, if you are undergoing your Pollinator Steward Certification, you don’t use the same action to qualify for both. We cannot wait to award you this highest level of distinction as a BFG Member! If you have an idea for an action and are not sure if it would qualify, please contact us at bfg@pollinator.org (NOTE: TO GET THIS BADGE, A COMPONENT OF YOUR ACTIVITY SHOULD INCLUDE PROMOTION OF THE BEE FRIENDLY GARDENING PROGRAM.)
yes
Describe in detail what you did to earn the badge. Your response should have 4 parts: 1) state the action taken, 2) clearly describe your effort, 3) estimate how many people were involved and/or reached, 4) outline how you incorporated promotion of the Bee Friendly Gardening program in your activity.
