RIT has partnered with Seneca Park Zoo Society to work on several projects on- and off-campus to promote the conservation of pollinating animals, including birds, bees, and butterflies. Globally, pollinators face diminishing populations due to factors such as habitat loss, climate change and agricultural pesticides, which can disrupt ecological health and agriculture. FMS planted a Seneca Park Zoo Society seed mix, specially designed to conserve pollinators in Western New York, on campus along Max Lowenthal Road.
