Pollinator Party

Join us to help monitor pollinator biodiversity in a rewilded meadow on-site using iNaturalist and field-guides.

For more than 100 million years, insects and flowering plants have lived in harmony, with insects transporting nutritious (for them) pollen from plant to plant so that seeds are produced.

This ancient symbiotic relationship is essential for human food security and the persistence of all wildlife.

Pollinators also support healthy ecosystems that clean the air, stabilize soils, and buffer the planet from climate change.  These relationships are now at risk as pollinators and plants are responding differently to cues from a warming climate.

Our community-led monitoring supports sensitive and threatened plant and animal species. You'll learn to use the iNaturalist and Seek apps. Please download apps prior to the program.

Participants will learn to make research quality observations.
