National Pollinator Week, June 20-26
|
|
National Pollinator Week Celebration
Join us and thousands of others who are celebrating National Pollinator Week across the nation (even the White House is celebrating!). Pollinator Week was started because many pollinator populations have declined in recent years. For instance, the monarch population has declined by about 90%. While that statistic is staggering it's not too late! There are many things we can do to prevent further decline of pollinator populations and to even encourage regrowth of the population.
