The Pollinator Pathway: Bee On It!

August 31 • 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

A bee and a swallowtail butterfly visit a milkweed plant.

Thousands of people across the country have joined forces to create the Pollinator Pathway, a grassroots movement focused on protecting and restoring habitat for bees, birds, butterflies, moths, and other pollinating insects. Join us to learn how you can be part of this important effort to help reverse declines in bird and pollinator populations. We will discuss the threats pollinators face and some easy steps you can take to help support them in your yard and your community.

Space is limited for the programs and advance registration is required. Event fee is $5 for Conservancy members and $10 for non-members. This program is intended for ages high school – adult.

This event will include a sit-down discussion as well as a walk-and-talk component on the Van Scott Nature Reserve’s trails to view pollinator meadows and wildlife activity. Please wear closed-toe shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Be prepared to walk approx. 1.5 miles on uneven terrain.
