Adam Boyer+FollowMSU lawns now buzzing with lifeMichigan State University is transforming 30 acres of campus lawns into vibrant pollinator habitats, swapping out high-maintenance grass for native wildflowers and clover.

Students and staff are loving the change, and it’s a great example of how small shifts in landscaping can make a huge difference.
