Hillary Sardiñas describes how SARE funding allowed her to discover where native pollinators typically nest in farm fields, revealing how they can be affected by common production practices. As a PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley, she found that more native pollinators are nesting in fields rather than field margins than previously thought. A Western SARE Graduate Student grant supported her fieldwork and data collection.
