Arkearth is a pollination accelerator for urban farms and community gardens. Overview:
Arkearth is a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation focused on saving bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, and other pollinators via our unique pollination accelerator projects. Our projects deploy into community gardens, urban farms, schools, universities, corporate campuses, and other locations. Each project is site
surveyed for its unique needs, local plant, animal, and insect life, and how we can best help save pollinating species while increasing food output and providing valuable educational content and experiences for students and volunteers. Our mission is to create a sustainable set of easy-to-manage and track environmental features, including beehives, bat houses, butterfly enclosures, hummingbird feeders, wildflower borders, and highly valuable IoT reporting architecture. Our goal is to increase local pollinators' success, food yields, and plant growth. Studies have shown projects like ours can increase food output by 15% to 30%. In at-risk neighborhoods, we also help to engage more of the residents in community projects, increase property values, and reduce reported crimes. Arkearth is a massive initiative, and our mission is not small in its scope. However, thanks to supporting research, it is doable and scalable, beginning at a local level and with the support of donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers. Together, we can not only help save the pollinators, but we can help eliminate food deserts and give both nutritional foods and hope to people in local communities. Currently, we have dozens of projects underway with more planned. Our first pollination accelerator projects include the following:
1. Trinity River Audubon Center
3. North Dallas Community Garden Project 2024
4. Fairmont Hotel Dallas Rooftop Garden
5. Fair Park Dallas / Winter 2024
