Bring Back the Pollinators
Saturday, September 24th @ 10:00 AM The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation By: Belinda Greiner (Xerces Ambassador) This presentation is part of the Xerces Society’s initiative to conserve the pollinators and other invertebrates that help to sustain life on earth. Using stunning photography and up to date scientific data, it will introduce you to the diversity and natural history of America’s native bees. It will explore the threats to these populations and present straightforward ways in which you can make your garden—or neighborhood—a pollinator haven.
