At Bee The Change, we help people create vibrant, resilient urban ecosystems. Our work weaves together pollinator support—through native and honey bee stewardship—with expert landcare, ecological landscape design, and permaculture education. Each offering is part of a larger mission: to connect and support a network of urban land stewards who practice reciprocity with the living world. By tending gardens, hives, and habitats, we foster connection and community—where every small act of care becomes part of a greater web of resilience. Together, we can shape an urban landscape that nourishes pollinators, people, and the collective future we share.
Hi! My name is Carly and I have been creating pollinator gardens in Portland, Oregon since 2018 & a student of plants since 2013. I am passionate about helping people feel a sense of connection and wonder when they look at the world around them and love doing my part to foster and restore relationships between humans and the natural world. I love sharing the skills needed to create resilience in our communities, food systems, and urban habitats! My specialties are beekeeping and ecological landscaping.
