Meet our local pollinators! Learn about pollination, who the pollinators are, and the most common pollinators in WNC – plus simple steps to help pollinators thrive.

This presentation is designed for adults of the general public and assumes no prior knowledge of pollinators. You’ll learn about pollination and pollinators overall, as well as the most common pollinators in Western North Carolina. 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.
