Pamela Blackmore is a master’s student in landscape architecture at Kansas State University. Her project, “Butterflies, Tallgrass Prairie, and Green Roofs,” evaluates the butterfly communities of two urban green roofs planted with native prairie vegetation compared to nearby urban native prairie and protected tallgrass prairie sites. Since urbanization is a driver of habitat loss, it is essential to understand how habitat for pollinator communities in cities can be improved. One potential solution is to use green roofs and other green infrastructure to make cities more hospitable to pollinators.
