New York legislation allowed developers, for many years, to construct new buildings on Native American burial grounds without implementing any preservation measures, making it one of only four states lacking significant protection for graves located on private land. However, this situation is about to change due to a clause incorporated in the state budget deal that Gov. Kathy Hochul unveiled last week. The provision, which was approved by the Assembly and Senate on Monday night, will mandate that private property owners cease development if th...

By Linnea Harris. Pollinators are crucial for growing the food we eat and supporting the diverse plant life that sustains our ecosystems. When feeding on pollen or nectar for energy, pollinators carry pollen from the stamen of the flower to the stigma, which fertilizes the plant so it can produce fruit and seeds.
