About The In-Person Workshop
Discover the vital role native pollinators play in supporting healthy ecosystems during "Environmental Field Studies: Attracting Pollinators."

From selecting specific host plants to establishing meadows and other pollinator-friendly landscapes, this program will provide research-based strategies to help pollinators thrive while enhancing local biodiversity.
