WHEREAS:
Pollinator species provide significant environmental benefits that are necessary for maintaining healthy, diverse ecosystems; and
WHEREAS:
The State of Georgia has benefited from and managed wildlife habitats and public lands such as state forests and grasslands for decades; and
WHEREAS:
Our state also provides producers with conservation assistance to promote wise environmental stewardship, including the protection and maintenance of pollinators and their habitats on working lands and wildlands; now
THEREFORE:
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim june 20-26, 2016, as POLLINATOR WEEK in Georgia.
