This free presentation is designed for adults of the general public and assumes no prior knowledge of pollinators. Learn about pollination, who the pollinators are, and the most common pollinators in WNC. These topics are followed by a discussion of conservation concerns and simple steps you can take to help pollinators. The session wraps up with the fascinating concept of “pollination syndromes” and how you can use them to participate in pollinator conservation.

One garden at a time, every little bit of habitat we create makes our world a better place.

Registration opens Thursday, May 30. Please note: Reems Creek’s classroom space is limited. If your plans change and you are unable to attend, please cancel your ticket in Eventbrite so that others may have your space. Thank you for your consideration!
