The Importance of Native Pollinator Habitats

7/3/2025

 
Guest Q&A: Julia Rogers

Blackberry Ridge Farm (The event venue and beneficiary of Psychoactive Last Runner Standing Event) recently dedicated their newly established Native Pollinator Habitat to HPM and we couldn't be more proud! It's no surprise that HPM is fully committed to supporting human activity and environmental advocacy and this beautiful habitat dedicated to our planet first approach is another perfect example of exactly that. This space will provide our natural ecosystem an opportunity to thrive 365 days a year and since we will pass the habitat on the Psychoactive course ... over and over and over ... it will be a reminder of our environmental support on each and every lap!

Learn more about the benefits of native pollinator habitats from Blackberry Ridge Farm Co-Owner Julia Rogers and see how you can start your habitat in your own neck of the woods!

I got a text a few days after Hurricane Helene swept through the Eastern US causing catastrophic destruction, specifically in Western NC, our backyard. “Know anyone that can donate old climbing rope, carabiners, or harnesses … they’re rope-bridging people out and need more supplies”. People up and down the east coast had started to mobilize and Human Powered Movement would take a leading role to help our neighbors in need.

Let me be clear that I am not a scientist and that the Human Powered Movement platform swings significantly further to the artistic side of the art/science pendulum. We exist to inspire more activity in people’s lives and use our platform for good. We essentially, and proudly, follow the Public Benefit Corporation model. We regularly put people and planet over profits and routinely go with our gut feeling when determining “the right thing to do”. It takes a lot of balls and an incredible level of passion to continue this “benefit” work every day, but the impact is meaningful in OUR community and critical for OUR environment.

Launching 2 brand new Carbon Negative endurance events is a match made in HPM Heaven. Here’s what you need to know about how we approached and created two new Carbon Negative Events
  • “MOVE” A Carbon Negative & Fat Ass Style Trail Run
  • “MOVE” A Carbon Negative & Bare Bones Mtn Bike Ride

The term “Fat Ass” has raised a few eyebrows as we’ve teased a new Human Powered Movement experience over the past few months. Most people we’ve talked with have never heard the term in relation to a running event before. Worse yet, some have been straight up offended by what they  assumed we just called them!

It's not what you think ... but here’s what you need to know about “Fat Ass” style running events, and how you can try one yourself.
