Bring Back the Pollinators

Pollinators are essential to the health of our environment and to bountiful crops that feed the world. Many pollinators are in decline, but you can help! Come learn about our native pollinators and how they interact with the natural world, why they are threatened, and four essential ways we can help them, including how native plants support them, with Xerces Society Ambassador Denise Wilson. You will also receive helpful publications from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation to take home.

About the Speaker: Denise Wilson has a passion for pollinators.
