Ames High students from left to right: Bethany, Sara, and Lily
Did you know Ames is the first city in the nation to create an official 10-Year Pollinator Plan?
We’re proud to support this groundbreaking effort—and the next generation of changemakers making it happen! Through the City of Ames’ Climate Action Youth Grant, Ames High School students partnered with local businesses like Wheatsfield as part of their final project to raise awareness about the plan.
Their creative idea? Custom-designed stickers featuring QR codes that link directly to the plan—now on our smoothies, juices, and other to-go items! This collaborative project also commissioned original artwork from an Iowa State University student artist to bring the stickers to life.
You’ll spot these pollinator-friendly stickers popping up at other local spots too, like Clayton Farms Salads, Burgies Coffee, and The Filling Station.
So next time you sip a juice or smoothie from Wheatsfield, take a moment to scan the code and learn how you can help support bees, butterflies, and all the vital pollinators that keep our ecosystem buzzing.
When we learn and grow together, our whole community thrives.
